Default Curious on hp gains on 214/220 cam?

Wondering if anyone with similar cam specs to mine have proven dyno results in hp. I wasn't really into this when I started modin just wanted to go fast n have more power now Im intrested in what kinda power people got from cams spec'd like or close to mine.

I've asked the same question bro. I'm all by myself or it seems that way.. Take it to track and see where it's at. I'll probably be going with the tbss intake next & then the funny stuff. Well maybe built trans before funny stuff.. So G/L on the road few have travel

what exactly are you trying to do man? spin it to 6400 and swap converters. you dont race it enough to worry with it. now if your talking of swapping cams then yes more HP is to be had but how much an is it honestly worth it?
why do you think i have yet to swap cams how much will it really help?

Those are nice specs for your 5.3, I'm going to guess that that cam added 30+ HP...

I was just curious on power. No plans to change cam. I made up my mind to put the converter in dyno this one and just rock it as the DD.
