best cam for making HP?

Hey pplz,

what’s the best cam/pulleys out there for our engine to make some good HP!

I'm fairly new to Cams but I understand the principle; for our D17 - with new retainers + springs what would be the expected max power RPM increase?? Like 400-500rpm or somthing? would the max power be around 6800 or somthing? Or am I being to optimistic? Also what would be the expected HP gain? Take a full P&P job in to the equation.

Cheers

so far crower is the only company that will be putting out cams for our car here in a couple months. i have a regrind from crower and a pnp head. while n/a you do feel a noticeable difference but with n2o without cam/head is like night and day with it. that's when you feel the difference the most.
