He told me to look for 30-40 hp more with cam,headers and performer rpm, and 2-3 mpg more as well. He says he loves to improve on Detroit's camshafts. However he did say the newer roller cams have been tougher to improve on but it's still possible. His camshafts are not cheap, they are custom ground. My hydraulic was $300. Whereas a comp is probably half. I am relying on his MASSIVE experience and am looking forward to more than what he refers to as a "shelf" grind.
Mike Jones Cams design out of Denver N.C. He is always on the speedtalk forum.

I am running a Mike Jones camshaft as well in my '85 with a 355. Hydraulic roller 208/210 at .050 260/268 at .006 112 LSA installed at 109º ICL .490/.468 lift at valve.
I am very satisfied with the overall performance.
