Default Camshaft gains

I am about to purchase the new GTM Turbo Spec camshafts real soon, so I'd like to know the average gains of people who have gotten camshafts. I've only heard good things so far, and some people have said 20-40whp gains.

All I have is APS TT kit on a stock block. I will also be getting a new tune after I get them in.

Thanks

What kind of gains have people experienced with things like the JWT S1 Cams and such? (I think I got the name right . . . .)

the S1 cams seem to be good for 12whp NA, maybe 15whp supercharged, and 20-25whp with a turbo - might be wrong, it's hard to know for sure, because no one ever scientifically really tests out just cams by themselves with before and after dynos

i gained around 40whp with scotts performance stage 1 cams(aps st). http://www.carv2.com/site/project_detail.cfm?id=443

now that i'm building the motor and going tt, it will be interesting to see what the hp difference is between my car and carv2's shop car which will be identical except i'll have cams.

Sam that is awesome, it was good seeing the before-Cam dynos. They will definitely be going in when I do my motor build.
