Default Is my cam wrong?

Looking for some constructive critisizm. Just did a forged rebuild 347 with ported 243 (not light valves) stock comp. 1.7 YT rockers in an A4 car with a vig 3600. 3.55 gear. Car has 1 3/4 long tubes and true duals with h-pipe. Had it tuned and put 376 rwhp and 380 tq. I'm wondering if cam is wrong. It is 232/240 583/583 on 112.... The torque curve is very flat but little dissappointed about the numbers. Its a toy/street car and I dont mind changing the cam if need be.

I actually put this engine together for a friend. I will try to get a graph to post but the chart shows it was pull #4. I wont say who tuned the car until I do more research but how can you tune a car in 4 pulls? The dyno is a Dynojet. I haven't driven the car since the tune but am supposed to get the car back the week after thanksgiving- weather permitting.
