well...

I'm not sure about that. You get a different version than we do. I know the cams changed on our engines over the years. What happened in our case is the power stayed the same, but the power band changed a pretty fair amount. The newer engines seem to respond to cams more than the older engines

if so then we are talking about 30hp increase here

Hard to say. It often doesn't work out like that.
Do you have a roller rocker engine? If so, JWT doesn't have cams for it yet. I would still guess you would see about 15 hp from the new cams when they are available though, but I admit, I'm guessing.

do you think with this level of mod it can take the Primera to the level which it can compete with the DOHC VTEC Integra or the 2.2 DOHC Prelude?Standard?

I actually have no idea. I don't really pay much attention to other cars. I don't street race and on the race track there are few cars than can compete with the Sentra SE-R (SR20DE powered B13). Of course in club racing, the 240Z (one of the two most developed race cars in history) is about 3-4 seconds faster than us, but we have about 3-4 seconds I think we can get through development. But, this isn't what you asked.
The Primera should be pretty potent on the track.
