Default Expectations

I ride an '07 FXSTC with 6k miles, V&H Big Shots, SERT and SE football A/C. This combo dyno'd at 78hp/89tq. Yesterday I upgraded to SE 211 cams and a K&N HD-0800 A/C run naked. Unfortunately, our dyno computer took a dump before I had a chance for another run-up. I'm just looking for an educated guess on what kind of improvement I might expect, with the understanding that every bike is different. Thanks!

It may not be what you expect as those cams like some compression to work right. Like 10-10.5
