Oh, it also has a Tremec TKO600 for a tranny

You have plenty cam. Increasing your duration will only shift your power band to the right (read "up") in terms of RPMs. You should have way more RWHP for a TKO. I estimate that the TKO eats at most 15% of your power so your fly wheel hp is about 355. My 351W makes 316 rwhp behind a C6 auto tranny, which eats about 22% of your power. This gives me about 405 hp. You should be making not less than 430 hp (maybe more with those heads, prolly 450 hp) with that engine, which would be 365 hp or more at the wheels. Something is wrong. Could be timing, could be carb, could be something else.
