We just got the cam installed and there is a definite power gain! We haven't taken it to the track yet but it's definitely faster. It really pulls hard anywhere above 4000rpm. Suprisingly it feels just as streetable as the 221 and it feels like it didn't lose any bottom end either. We'll find out for sure once we get it to the track.
