I have the 228/232 588/592 110+1 and I absolutely love it. I have run a few different head and cam combo's and this one kills them all for street strip use. My set up is very similar to yours.
AFR 205's milled .020 w/ .040 Cometics
Cam installed w/ 2* advance (109 ICL)
TPIS LT's with Random Cats
SLP 25% UD Pulley
Fast 90/LS2 TB
SLP Adj Duel Roller
Callaway Honker
438/412

I have since had my Fast Velocity Ported by Tony Mamo so hopefully I picked up a couple there. I know you are going to love that cam.

Best Wishes,

J.R.

P.S.- Going all out race motor build so this cam is for sale if you are interested. Maybe 1000 miles and no track time. Pm me if interested.

What catback are you running? I'm having a similar setup installed with some PRC ported LS6 heads and the same cam...hoping for similar hp/tq numbers! I had borla stingers and just traded for some Z06 Ti's, to quiet the car down and also because I see the highest tq #'s with the Ti's.

I think you should take your heads off and have them looked at...
