Default Help with 383 cam

I have a 383 with -7cc pistons, 62cc 2.055 1.60patriot heads, ls6 intake.
My current cam is a 246 248 .615 .614 114 cam(peaks at 6300-6400)
I am not happy with the cam and am looking for something else.
what should I try.
It will also see a 150-200 shot in the spring

the cam is more than enought, what you need is 225 AFR heads and 90/90 fast combo ported, and I bet you be at 510rwhp and 490rwtq.

If I can afford new heads I will get some but I lost my 6 year job at ford 8 months ago at started at another place about 2 months ago and found out we will be closing nect month.
just trying to get a little more out of it with what I have. Maybe a cam to raise DCR oe something?

What exactly aren't you happy with? Is it peaky, soft in the low-rpm range, something else?
