It already shows your mechanic doesn't know anything...you can't just tune the PCM and drop a pulley size. That's noob sh*t. And a cam is good for more than 20hp I can vouch...I bet I added 50+ Horsepower when I did my cam swap...headers/LS1 TB/custom tune/ported supercharger/3.4" to a 3.2" pulley/XP Cam. Cams love to breathe...if your not going to take the time to mod safe and correctly then don't mod at all and save your motor.
