i bought the comp cams stage 3's with springs and retainers. I went from 293rwhp to 330rwhp on a Brenspeed 91 tune on my 05 GT. A dyno tune would of probably netted me a few more ponies though.

i think i paid close to $1K for everything and $600 for install. Cams swap on a 3V can be a PITA.

Be careful gettings cams. Some people are getting driveability issues like low rpm bucking and rough take offs. They are expensive and will need a pro install and tune. I think you could do better with other mods. Did you get your JLT intake yet? I think you will really like it when you do.
