None, unless you also raised the compression. You get about 5% more power
for every additional "point" of compression. For example; 8.5:1 compression
ratio gives 200 hp in a particular engine. Going to 9.5:1 in same engine
will give 210 hp. Cam can add as much as the heads will flow. Figure about
25 horsies more with the stock heads and fuel inj. With custom computer
pragramming the sky's the limit.
