Just realize that the TQ will be high even at very high rpms. That is why your HP will probably go up by about 55 rwhp, even though the peak TQ doesn't go up as much. You might gain more than what I said. I'm being a little conservative, since you're an auto. Your current numbers are good for what you have on the car right now, so your Hotcam numbers might be higher than what I said.

Have you seen a Hotcam dyno curve? The TQ is very flat from low to high RPM. It's a very nice cam.

The latest dyno I saw with the Hotcam, CAI, Longtubes with a M6 dynoed 325 rwhp/325rwtq. You'll be able to spin much higher in RPM, like 6200 rpm, and still have decent TQ at that rpm. That is what makes a new cam such a nice thing. The stock cam falls off way too fast after 4700 rpm, and you can only spin up to 5700 rpm.
