cam upgrade over LT4 hotcam

I want to get about 20 or so more rwhp over what I have now (375) with the LT4 hotcam. I was looking at a 224/230 .573/.543 112 from High Tech. What kind of gains will I get from this cam over the hotcam? People with LT4 and cams, show me what you got and what power you're making.

I wouldnt expect 20rwhp from a 224/230 just cause it had more lift. I'll assume thats even with 1.6 RR's. Your going to be talking GM847/CC306/LE2/LE3 size to make 395+ at the wheels.

Spending the money and time for a cam change for 20 hp seems silly.

Assuming you have 1.6RR then put some 1.7RR on it. 10-15 hp for a lot less effort.

Add some bottle if you need to or lose some pounds off the car.

1.7 rockers while they sound easy... that much lift with those rockers are really going to change the geometry. Make sure you do all the measurements if you go that route. I myself would go with a 75hp shot to pick it up a little.
