My Transformation 5.7 Gen 3 in 74 Dart Sport

I have seen dyno pulls other guys on the internet with this cam an similar mods pull 60 hp or more at the rear wheels.
I’m curious, and probably talking in circles now, but if you are swapping the springs/shims/etc, is it just as easy to put a (potentially) higher HP, better performance cam instead of the 6.4? Just thinking if your going to replace these items, is it better to just replace once and get a better cam?
