Default Procharger cam swap HP numbers?

Just wondering if anyone knows how much of an increase of HP I should see from a stock cam to a TSP 224/228 .581/.588 LSA 114. This is on a stock displacement LS1 with long tubes, full exhaust, intake and 7lbs out of a P1SC. I'm also trying to figure out if I will have to change injectors, I have Bosch 42lb injectors on it now and I've read so many different things on these. I plan on putting a Walbro 255 in tank fuel pump in it. I have the little procharger piggy back fuel pump on it now.

I would expect to see a 50+ hp gain with the cam swap. If your injectors are close to being maxed out I would look in to some 60# when you upgrade.

Well all I can tell you is that i'm running Bosh 42's with a Walbro 255 and hot wire kit, and at 550 rwhp i'm doing just fine. But the difference is that i'm running a nitrous wet kit which doesn't pull off the injectors like a blower. I believe the 255 pump should be good close to 600 rwhp IIRC

But it does pull off the rail unless you have a stand alone. So really no difference in pump limits between set ups.

Do you know what duty cycle you are running? I'm looking at around the 550 range.

OP, I don't remember exactly, but I wanna say the 42's were close to 90% max duty at the 550 rwhp mark. But remember you will be maxing the injectors more so with that blower.

Crazyelf, I was referring to the injectors and not the pump

At that point if he's going to buy 60's, he may as well get 80's for the same price and have more room to grow or use E85.

80s will be much harder to tune for a street car tho huh?

Not at all. 80's are a walk in the park to tune.

What he said ^^^^^^.

I'm using FIC1000's and they aren't bad to tune on 91 octane. I'm at 52% duty cycle on 91 octane and 92% on E85.

I just put fic 2000's and with the tuning data they do really well.

im betting you will be able to gain 40-50 rear hp . You may have to pulley down to make some more boost . Im right at 500 and my buddy has a setup just about the same and made 560ish with a cam but then was backed off to about 500 for longevity reasons as the engine has 122k on it .

I thought about a smaller pulley too. But Procharger didn't recommend it, saying the belt would be prone to slip. Was that through a A4 or M6? Because I'm getting a pretty reliable tune myself.
