In theory, better ring seal (with no other changes) will give you slightly more power and definitely control the oil 10x better (or more). Boost might change slightly - maybe 1/2 psi or less.

But changing the cam profile will either let more air into the heads (lowering boost slightly), or it may even stay the same - with no other changes. You might also have more bleed off with a larger cam.

Not like I'm an expert, but I'll guess 760/695 as your number.
