Default 415 more cam?

Running a 415 ls3 with CNC ls9 head's.
currently my best 1/8 is 6.46 at 104 with 1.325 60.
Going with fast Hiram this winter.(not Holley)
Car has a 236/250 .625/.625 115+4 cam.

Is a cam change worth the money and time?

Any recommendations?
Car is c5 rpm level x 4l65 3.73 fti hard hit 4000

1.25 60ft? Doesn’t seem like it needs a bigger cam. What will I that run in 1/4 mile? What intake are you running now? How much do you think the new Fast intake will add?

That sixty foot is 2 tenths faster than it should be for that ET lol. Are you a wizard?

Also yes, a bigger cam for a 415 would be good - especially with a bigger intake that would support a lot more revs.

The way the car is performing now I'd hate to swap the camshafts. I've seen guys go to a bigger cam and slow their car down.

I would use something like cam motions 244/256 113lsa+4 if you want something more aggressive.

What is the rest of the build details? Looks like either a nitrous or Procharger cam. What compression you running? What are your shift points?
