Power gains with cam swap

Hey I am running a LT-4 cam now, this cam was very compatable with the TBI I use to run. I now run a street avenger and would like to step up to a LT-4 HOT CAM. I Have the gears and converter to support it.........what kind of gains do you think I will see.....Everything else I have is below in my SIG.



Thanks for the input
Brian Felts

I would guess 35-40 RWHP. I don't know how it will react with your setup but a stock LT4 would see around that gain.

Thanks that pretty respectable for a Iron Head 350. I would think that would put me in the 370hp range. Any others want to give input?

Thanks
Brian
