I think I read somewhere it was like a 25hp gain, just with the cam. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, 25-35hp is about the gain from the 6.1 cam.

I'm wondering what the gain is if you drop the whole 6.1 top end on the 5.7?

Plus the good thing is you can get them for around a 140 bucks.

Technically no, there are a lot of guys running around with everything else stock. It is probably a good idea though to change out springs and pushrods just to be on the safe side.
