I think I need more cam

Or a stroker. The point of a bigger engine for more power. VIA the stroker route, more torque. A stroker engine has a harder time spinning higher RPM's
(Due to the longer stroke having to travel faster to mantain the same rpm as a shorter stroke engine)

Another good point. It takes cubic dollars to build a long-stroke engine for high RPM's. When I was young and too stupid to understand the true value of "numbers-matching" I used to launch my car at 5000 RPM and shift at 7000 RPM which is what the previous owners did. It is a balanced and blueprinted 383 with solid lifters. They spared no expense when building it but it is not a stroker. It still has the short 383 stroke.
