You have a nice mild cam with a little extra advance to help on the lower end. With all the cubic inches you have I think that's a very nice street set up. You can do further tweaking by experimenting with your valve lash by little bits. With aluminum heads he probably spec'd your lash at something around .018 COLD. Adjusting your lash a little outside of that amount (either more lash or less lash) will act like advancing or retarding (meaning you get a little boost at the high end, or the low end, but not both).
