Not bad at all. Converter and headers would be my next mods.

Nice times, since you already have headers get gears and a convertor.

If you picked up 6-7 MPH with no other changes from a cam change alone then that is an awesome gain. However, I'd guess there were other factors involved.

Converter is a 100% absolute must-have with an auto, even MORE so with 2.73 gears

You can run 11s with the 2.73 gears if you want. A TCI 3800 and PLENTY of traction will get you there. If you must change gears then I'd probably go with 3.42s considering you like the bottle.
