Default MS4 question

I am thinking about picking up the MS4 cam package from Texas Speed. (cam, springs, push rods)

i have a 99FRC. pretty much stock with 3.73's.

What kind of power gain should i look for? (right off the bat. not doing any bolt ons until april)

Mine picked up 50 rwhp on the nose with stock exhaust manifolds and all. Dyno'd 341 rwhp stock with a tune and a catback and 391 rwhp with the same mods plus the MS4 cam kit. Now its a bit more

just my opinion, but do the bolt ons first then do the cam. You can get by with out a tune on a bolt on only car, but will need it tuned with the cam.

Unless you don't mind wasting the money, you are double spending to do a cam, get it tuned, then do bolt ons and need it tuned again.
