Default Cam Stall Gas Mileage?

Im just wondering im getting a cam this summer and i already have a 3200stall on my car right now. And i know that the stall effects the gas mileage and i was wondering if the cam would effect much of my gas mileage or is most of the lost gas mileage just gonna be from the stall?

After I installed a custom cam 230's, I dropped to between 19-20mpg from 22. I drive 80% highway though. Still not that bad. Hope that helps.
