Default Change cams?

I need to know if it would make a noticable difference if I changed cams. Right now I have a 224-228 534-537 114, I was thinking about going to a 224thunder cam. My car isn't making much HP for the setup I have. I was told(by the shop) the cam was small, but I don't think my heads are ported like they said they are. My HP is 360 & torq 363.

No I didn't get any flow numbers for my heads, there doesn't look like I have an A/F ratio on my dyno sheet.

I would suggest dynoing the car and get a wide band O2 reading (air/fuel ratio). Also have them scan it to see what your timing and knock retard are at.

Those numbers seem really low for a H/C combo. I pulled 362RWHP 373RWTQ (SAE corrected)with stock heads and unlocked converter and no dyno tricks with the cam in my sig.

Do you have flow numbers for your heads? Do you have your A/F ratio from the dyno pull and were you getting any KR.
