It’s amazing that to this day and age with all the info that’s at your fingertips, it’s seems that folks in a way build up a more powerful sounding motor that can’t even match the performance of a high performance stocker that is well tuned and set up.

Is it not more impressive to have a mild sounding motor that performs exceptionally?

Just swapping over to the 068 cam now would raise your peak torque and Hp rpm by 600, which with your current 2.70s rear gears would be useless to you.
On the other side of the coin going from 2.78 to even just 3.23 would pick you up 18% greater rear wheel torque.

This would at least make up for that 600 rpm change in rpm level from the cam change.

In short make the gear change first .
