Default how much hp will i gain with cam and gears

I have a 2000 ls1 Camaro a4 with pacesetters and a slp lid so far. Iam in the process of putting 3.73s and comp Cam 230/232. How much HP will I gain and is there anything else I should add within a couple hundred dollars before the tune?

If you don't have one yet you will need a 3,600-4,000 stall and tranny cooler.

About 390rwhp after the tune a4 needs at least a 3200 stall, IMO I would go with a 3600.

I would personally look into a EPS grind and also put in a yank SS3600 stall along with some GM 3.73's

Without a converter you will barely be faster at all and the car will drive like crap.

With that size cam, yes you absolutely need a stall, I recommend Yank SS3600 with tranny cooler.

Thanks Guy's. Will definitely look into a stall converter.
