Lightbulb Cam Help Please!!!!

I was wondering if going from a solid cam to roller would see much in performance gains???? Running a Lunati solid cam 2500-6500 / 310/320 .558/.566, was going to try Lunati roller 2500-6500 / 304/304 .595/.595 Any estimates on HP gain or 1/4 time gain/mph??? Its a 454 /Ive got a 3500 stall /400 turbo tranny/850 holley/Victor jr single plain intake... Im want to stay in the same rpm range thats why i was going to try this cam.

Thanks....

I'm thinking your gonna lose some with that cam.
Sure it's roller but the basic duration #'s there's a big difference.

You will see a gain, not sure how much though. I have seen on the dyno a cam change from a solid flat tappet to a solid roller make as much as 60 hp difference. This was with almost the same duration numbers on both cams. I think that with what you are chosing with these cams, you will still see a gain from the swap.

Thanks,
