hp gains from stageII cams+valve train upgrade ???

Alright just need some guesstimates on how much hp and tq gains can I expect from installing some good stage II cams/ valve springs/guides/retainers.

I need more top end power out of my B16a. VTEC kicks in at 5500rpm and WILL and is supposed to last to 8200rpm (Im pretty sure). But my engine is just winding out at around 7600-8000 and no matter how wide open the throttle is,....theres just no more juice so I shift around 7600-8000. Hmmm WEIRD!

So just wondering some hp gains from cams & new valvetrain, or any better upgrade ideas for top end power is welcome. Thanks in advance

or you could get a set of aftermarket cams that are worth a damn for possibly less money and have a lot bigger gain
