Cam I do it?
Well let me start off by saying that I have overheated 2 X and now I have to change my headgasket, but I'm also doing cams swap...
But I was wondering what kinda numbers am I looking at by using S50 cams.

oh, why would you go S50 cams instead of S52 cams? is it more HP gain, cheaper for you, or just what was available?

I was under the impression that S52 cams go with M52 and S50 cams go with the M50. I think 20-30RWHP.

that's correct. You might have a few issues using the s50 cams in an m52.

S50 cams will NOT work on the M52. I would like to say max 15rwhp out of S52 cams into an M52.

Jrhaile would be a good person to ask, he has done the s52 cams in an m52 and done dyno testing I believe.

I was also under the impression that s50's do actually fit in m52, and they are a more "aggressive" cam than an s52.
