I currently have an Anderson B-41 cam in my car (see specs in sig) and I'm considering swapping to the N-71 cam.

Here are the specs of each cam:
B-41 ...228/236 .544/.544 w/1.6 rocker
N-71......232/240 .576/.576 110

I'm basically looking to pick up a few more horses. Do you think this would be a worth while swap?

Unless you already have the other cam I would spend the money elsewhere. The two are pretty much identical and I doubt you would notice a big difference.

They are actually nowhere near identical... It's hard to say if you have enough motor to make use of the larger cam. I would say the best place to get the advice is from Anderson.

+1, and this would probably have been better off asked in Tech. But really, this is one of those things that you should ask the manufacturer (Anderson) about first. Take anything you hear here with a grain of salt. You'll come across guys here who will put big cams in their cars just for the sound. You want to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.

They are definitely not the same..... This cam is actually recommended by Anderson for my motor... But I'm going to give their tech a call anyway and see what they say.
