think 25% raise? that's what unorthodox racing cams claim... you will feel the diff in speed for sure! but i don't know the details so i'm not going to say much

here's an article from import tuner on cam gears,

Torque = force x length of lever
Or
Weight x Arm = moment

underdrive pulley kits reduce parasitic loss from the engine, so more power actually goes to the wheels as opposed to being used up to drive accessories like A/C power steering and alternator. Good overall mod... less strain on engine I guess, but if you have a bad *** system, it's kinda counterproductive, cuz the alternator has less capacity. As for cam gears, single cammers don't gain as much... esp with a stock cam... need dyno tuning to get it right - there are no set prescribed settings for any cam gear.
