I don't know for sure, but the number I've heard bandied about for a cam
and intake change along with a head porting is about 70hp. I have heard of
Mustangs which gained 100hp just from new heads alone, so I think there are
a lot of variables involved. (like your current level of mods, what sort
of port job you have done, etc.)
I'm just guessing here, but I would think you'd be able to see about 50hp
from the cam and the heads... ?
