Default Cam Suggestions?

I currently have a 222/226 .563/.569 112 comp cam and am looking for something bigger. I gained only 34hp/0tq from this cam over my stock one and am currently dynoing 402/378 with mods in sig. I need a cam that makes a lot more torque that is a proven track performer. Any suggestions? I do not want a cam that I will have to worry about breaking valve springs. I currently have 918's and hardened pushrods.

Thanks

If you keep those springs then go with a TR230, MTI's R1 grind or TSP's 228/228 .588/.588 112LSA

nothings wrong with 32hp gains! I would be more than happy dynoing over 400 cam only!

Im sure you thought about it already, but maybe get some heads with dual springs, then run a bigger cam 440hp would be nice heheheh
