Default Should I change my combo or stay with what I have?

I just blew my motor in my car and since the motor has to come out, I am trying to see if I should change up a little bit.

Let me give a lil history first: I got the car and it was tuned for a dry shot. I converted it to a wet shot and got the car tuned. The car put down 382 to the rear wheels on EPS dyno. It has a 12 bolt rear 3.73 gear and a th350 trans 3600 stall w/ no lockup.

Took it to the track and 1st pass off the trailer on a 95 degree day the car went 11.97 on the motor. Kept running it that night and as the weather got cooler the best pass was 11.81 at 115 mph. The race weight of the car is 3565 w/driver.

Here are my head and cam specs.
.2 146/111
.3 201/146
.4 251/182
.5 291/203
.6 301/219
.65 304/223

stock valves, milled only to clean up surface
.030 Cometic gaskets for tight quench

230/240 .613/.608valve lift .361/.358 lobe lift 111LSA Comp Cam

Is my car running ok for what I have? I just feel like the car should be running better.

I was thinking a set of ported 243's and a LG or Veangeance cam.

Tell me what you guys think?

Through the TH350 and drivetrain; the #'s seem ok. I agree i would expect a better et/mph at the track. TEA has BADass LS6 heads that won't break the bank.

the turbo 350 and rear are whats eating your power...on a hot day id say the mph is pretty good....id keep the setup and put the money elsewhere....
