Default need a cam change?

I been thinking about a new cam my cam right now is a comp 224/232 574/581 112lsa I don't think im making the power I should be. I don't see alot of split duration cams. I was thinking something like a 229/229 591/591 112lsa I seen it on futral motorsports. what do you guys think stick with what i have or switch. open for opions have all winter.I hate to dyno tune with a cam that might not be right for me

Sounds like you have a very good cam already. What are your other mods? And what have you dynoed already?

I would rather not say who ported them but there in schaumburg he doe's really nice work I have seen alot of head work and he doe's alot of ls1 stuff valve size 2.08int 1.60ext can it be possible when my computer was tuned it could be off and make that kind of diffrence (powerwise) how much power can you pick up dyno tuning I think I would need to find about 30 to 40 more horsepower just guessing . I really don't know what my car should be running I see and hear so many different storys
