Default Cam Advice Needed

Hello everyone,

I own a 1995 Firehawk with all the options available form SLP. Recently I had a lifter bearing fail and score the lobe on the cam. As a result I now have a reason to replace the cam. Dose any one have any recommendations for a good replacement cam, valve springs, and rocker arms? How much RWHP gain should I expect after the aforementioned modifications?

(Other than the options installed by SLP the car is completely stock.)

I'm not going to be doing any heavy modifications in the near future. I just figured since I have to replace the cam I might as well upgrade it. I would like to see 315-330 RWHP after the swap and a good tune.
