Default Old cam grind how much power left on the table

The cam I have is a TSP 231/237 and I am running ported 243 castings the flow number are here.

Car 02 Z28 M56 running a stock LS6 intake TTS longtubes,Cutout,ORY and a TSP rumbler cat-back.

My question is how much more power do the newer grinds have over an older tired and true grind like mine?

If you were going to improve on this combo where would you concentrate?

Anyone?

I ordered a Fast 90/90 setup for the car and I am taking the heads off to see I can have the flow numbers improved mostly on the exhaust side.

Since I am going to have it all apart anyway I thought I might slide in a new cam but I am not sure of what grinds are going to outperform my current cam and still retain the drivabilty of my 231/237.

i dont know of any problems you would have with your current cam. there are bigger cams out there that will make more power but nothing wrong with yours.

have the 90 setup ported and do true duals. those 2 would show you some good gains

I know that my cam is a proven performer I was just wondering if there was any magic bullet cams out there that had it beat.
