Default Expected Rwhp Gain. Swapping to MS4

What should be my expected numbers and all around performance going from a Re-Grind 236/242 580/590 to the MS4? Last but not least. Which one of these cams would work best with the LS6 2.5 heads and what would be my expected nums? So in other words if you all could help. What would be my numbers cam only & What would be my numbers H/C?

My biggest concern with those heads and cam would be PTV clearance. Are you getting the heads from Texas Speed (because I believe they alter the valve drop to increase PTV)?

almost positive youre going to run into PTV clearance issues. i think the stage 1 ls6s work, 2.5+ do not. call TSP just to be sure.

gains? maybe 30ish.

**edit- so am i reading youre sig right? its a 383?

With a 383, you'll pick up, but I would go bigger cause of the 383ci.
