4kq cam upgrade (Schrick/Blau vs. 2.3)

[Aaron Sherrick]

All the recent talk about cams has gotten me interested.  I really don't
want to spend a lot of money, so that counts out the Schrick cam.  The Blau
unit is supposed to be a copy of that one, correct?  I remember someone said
it's pretty decent.  I also recall hearing that the 2.3 cam is a good (and
probably cheap) upgrade as well.  How many degrees is the 2.3 cam?  Probably
not 272 like the Blau/Schrick, I would assume.

How much performance (horsepower) can I expect out of this upgrade?  Blau
claims a 10-15% hp increase and a 25% torque increase on theirs.  I have a
Stebro exhaust, so that shouldn't be a limiting factor.  Will it make my
idle rough?  Will the power increase be across all rpm's or just high rpm's?
Will I loose low end power?  OK, that's about all my questions for now!
