ZZ4 cam

I have a friend who is offerring to sell me his cam out of his ZZ4 AND install it for $100
Im not in a position to upgrade the intake system or add headers right now so i know i wont be able to fully utilize it with the stock intake and exhaust manifolds, but what im wondering is what sort of gains does everyone think that it would give me with the stock intake and exhaust?He is saying he thinks about 35HP, im thinking more like 20.
BTW its a 91 L98

groovy
thanks

You should see gains closer to what you are estimating. The ZZ4 cam is fairly mild.

You will probably need new vavle springs on your heads, as the exhaust is .510" lift. The stock springs wont handle that for very long.

I have that cam in my car, and I like it.
