I'm not positive about this. I'm thinking that the new setup will yield similar Horsepower and Torque numbers (+/- 15RWHP/ 15RWTQ).

One of the biggest reasons that I'm doing this is because I feel my old cam would be better suited with a bigger stall than what I currently run (Yank SS3200).

My goal is to regain some more low and mid range power and have a more useable powerband. My current setup feels a bit lazy with the high LSA in the cam with a stall that is probably too small.

Worked on the car a little bit more yesterday and made some small progress.

Removed the valve springs and stems from the head:



Removed the crank pulley off the crank, air tools ftw.



Also I was able to get the lifter trays and lifters removed from the engine. The lifters look like they are in great shape. I can see about half of the camshaft ant it also appears to be in great shape with nothing more than normal wear and tear visible.
