Will cams on a n/a give us power?
About the only cams I have seen for the V6 are from Schrick. I am not sure if they are still available but I think they were over three grand. You might also want to check with Kleemann and Renntech. For just a little more you could go with the BEGi Crossfire turbo kit and get a huge boost in power.

I am interested. How much of a gain?

The upgraded injectors are so you do not lean out on your top end. I personally noticed a little better gas mileage gain when I was not heavy on the pedal after installing the injectors. But this could be because I put a CAI, new TB, unrestricted the exhaust and new injectors all at the same time.
Others have noticed the better gas mileage with just the injectors and no tune but I am not sure of why this would be.
They are pretty easy to install but it is a mess and you have to have a ton of rags to soak up the extra fuel. After I soaked everything up as best as I could I let the engine bay air out in the sun for a whole day and night before I hooked the battery back up and cranked her up.
If you want, research them a bit and if you are still interested pm me and I will hook you up with my extra set.

The word is you'd gain about 7-10 hp with cams... schrick and kleemann are the only ones I was able to find still laying around (only a hand full left). If you were going to change/upgrade/bore out/sc other intrenals it may be worth it to you...
short of a turbo or supercharger, you'd need to do more than just cams to get noticable improvements (number wise) on that engine.
to ring gobs of horse power from a normal engine, you really need to build up one just short of a "racing engine". I'm talking intake improvements, exhaust system, cams and springs, larger displacement, blueprinting the engine and so on. In other words you need to buld a system.
The downside is that to gain the additional horse poswer you need to raise the RPMs this cuts the reliablity and life of the engine by increasing the stress and heat of that engine.
This is why so many manufactures used turbos and superchargers to accomplish vast horse power increases. How many 426/425 hp hemis of 1969 do you see with 150,000 miles on them ..
My point is that they produce gobs of HP but had pretty short lives, or 10,000 miles a quarter mile at a time.
