Comparison of Vindicator and MS4 Camshafts I think the Vindicator Cam specs are 240/244 .608/.596 112 LSA; correct me if I'm wrong 
My MS4 cam is 239/242 .651/.610 111 LSA.
What would be the power difference between the two cams with ported heads, 90/90, Kooks, Corsa, full bolt-ons, etc.?
Obviously the Vindicator is larger but a MUCH lower lift with a higher LSA . . .
While I'm on the topic, what about shoving a VRX7 into a 5.7???
I'm curious about everyone's input

I was told by Ron that I would more than likely gain ~10 rwhp in the lower rpm's with "comparable" peak numbers.
Upon further investigation, I might actually lose a few ponies up top; the Vindicator just doesn't have the monster lift that the MS4 has
I don't wanna go through a cam swap just to gain ~10 rwhp in the lower regions and risk even more P/V clearance issues; to me, the ends don't justify the means
And Vice/Versa, if I already had the Vindicator I wouldn't be switching to the MS4 for similar reasons concerning different regions of the rpm
