If you get that much cam, you better go with some headers and a decent exhaust (or a cutout). I would say you'll be at 340 to 350 with just the cam, but with headers and a cutout along with the cam, you'll see around 380 to 400.

Headers, intake, ported TB, 28.8 injectors, bellows, stall (3500 minimum)
Then move into cam territory.

It's the piece between your MAF and throttle body. Not much of a gain. ~5rwhp maybe.
If anyone wants smooth bellows, send me your factory one, and I'll send you mine. I'm tired of having to wrestle with it to get the intake ducting on/off.

I have FIPK that came with bellows (before & after MAF).
They straighten the airflow in out without turbulance.
Now you can go to Home depot and get some tubing for $5 a foot. If that is not worth 5hp, I don't know what is.

Smooth bellows are an apperance modificiation. I do like how the suspected "5" works out to such a nice round number, but if you dyno a car with a smooth bellow, and then go to a to the factory one HP is not going to decrease 5 units.
The theory is that laminar flow through a smooth bellow promotes more flow into the TB as the relative surface roughness decreases with "ribs" gone. In both cases the flow never becomes laminar- they're both turbulent, and not all theory is practical. Apparently on a dyno (the best way to measure this) removing the "ribs" by installing a 4" home depot piece of rubber niether increases the effective cross-sectional area nor does it significantly decrease the pressure differential across the bellow by having a smaller e/D ratio.
BUT all sorts of people buy them up. It makes me happy to walk by 3 ten second cars and see them all have the factory bellows still installed.
I'd rather spend that money on my next oil change than make some other cat rich.
