Default Is it worth swapping these cams??

Considering swapping my current B1 cam with the specs of 221/221 .558 @114lsa to the C2 cam with specs of 224/224 .581 @112lsa. Will there be any significant gains of the C2 over the B1??

Car mods are in sig.

Thanks

might get about 10 hp... the 112 lsa will also give more low end power than the 114

i doubt you see 10 RWHP with teh cam swap alone. the 224 desribed sounds like a xe-r with the aggressive lobes. the higher lift wont help much on stock heads. i say keep what you have. maybe 5 RWHP for all that trouble, just put heads on it!
