Default Headers, cam,cai,tune

My car is a stock mn6,would like some insight as to what gains I can expect with the above set up.I want a streetable cam, but I also want it to sound good (not to rough). Also, what on average can I expect to pay for this set up, and who in the south florida area ( naples ) would you recommend? Thanks in advance. P.S. Car is a weekend driver only.

I have a similar setup with Kooks headers, LPE with a FAST intake, a moderately aggressive cam, and a tune. My numbers went from 344 rwhp and 318 torque to 442 rwhp and 402 torque. I couldn't be happier. I kept the stock exhaust which makes it quiet while cruising. No drone or anything like that. I wanted it to sound like it had a cam without dealing with an annoying lope at idle. That is what I got. You can tell it has a cam but without the shaking and rocking that comes with really aggressive cams.
