You'll gain around 50-55 rwhp. The ASA cam is pretty old school. There are cams with better gains. However the Asa will be very gentle on the valveteain and reliable

Yeah, you'll have plenty of duration BUT lift is only .525, when most cams nowadays are up near or at .600. An old grind that still does a decent job.

I just bought the high lift asa cam from ws6store. It has .600 lift instead of the .525 lift from the original. Hopefully soon I'll have time to install it.

Bader, check out our new high lift ASA cam. We fully expect it to make more power, have better piston to valve clearance and be quieter than the original gm asa cam.

There is a thread with video HERE

LMFAO! A high lift ASA cam? What an oxymoron. That defeats the entire purpose of using the GM ASA cam. It works with 100% bone stock valve train parts and keeps the valve train factory reliable and maintenance free because of the 525 lift and non aggressive ramp rates. That's the whole point.

The GM Asa cam does require at least the 12499224 springs so kinda stock parts but not stock in every (or most) ls engines.
Our ramp rate is not aggressive either. The valvetrain sound from our setup is quieter than the gmpp setup is, as verified by our customers, so dont just take our word for it!
The price on our kit (cam and springs) is roughly $7 more than just the gm cam. It still uses the stock pushrods as well. We do have sales as well that drop the price below just the gm cam.
