Mirage cam

So I have a mirage cam, actually the whole head which ive gasket matched, and I was just curious about it. Ive been doing heavy research and yes Ive used the search function on the site about the mirage cam alot. I see alot of people listing them in their sigs and found alot of information, but has anyone tuned or done anything with the cam to notice a gain at all? Im just totally curious as I cant seem to find anything on any sort of small teeny tiny noticeable gain that anyone happened to achieve with the cam. Ive seen PDA dynos for the mirage intake manifold stating a gain was made but what about the cam? Everyone just states that it is a stage one for an auto and stage .5 with a manual. But will we even notice anything even with a proper tune? Obviously without supporting mods its worthless but as you can see in my sig Im very much positive I have almost all the supporting mods necessary to take advantage of a cam minus the throttle body. Im not expecting miracles obviously as Ive learned with this car in the time Ive had it, but is it actually a mod that gains any miniscule bit of HP or should you just stick with the lancer cam over the mirage cam? I havent gotten to take advantage of it yet as Im just finishing up with a recent rebuild and this happens to be a new mod in the vehicle. Just looking for reassurance on any small amount of results. Thanks guys.

The cam specs don't lie. They are higher (not much higher) than the stock Lancer cam and as such would provide an improvement in performance over stock. There's no point in counting HP gain in small mods such as this. I don't believe someone has done a dyno with a stock cam followed directly up with one after the Mirage cam.
