Cam Change. HP est.. I currently have an older ARE stage 1 H/C package with headers/intake/etc..
I'm making 383rwhp/362rwtq with the 221 / .559 / 114 baby cam.
I'm considering upgrading to a bigger cam, nothing TOO big like the G5X3, but maybe a 226 or 228 / .580-.590 / 114. I'd like to stay on the 114LSA.
My question is, what kind of gains will I see with these bigger cams, 10, 20, 30, 40 rwhp??? I'd really like to be around 410ish. What do you guys think?

IMO I'd think that there is an easy 20-25 rwhp by going to one of the BIGGER cams, but with a 226 or 228 single pattern, I'd think about 15rwhp though...FWIW. I may be a little on the conservative side...ppl around here start out with big cams most of the time.
