CR?
60 ft?
I wouldn't expect a big gain from a cam swap, but you could try 1.6s (only on the intakes since you already have more exhaust duration) to look for a small gain.
Do you have a hood scoop? If so, is the carb sealed to the scoop?
Exhaust system? Do you run open headers? is your chassis working right... the 60' will tell you how well it is.. if you run exhaust there are muffs that just plain dont work well.... but your looking for .3-.4..thats a fair amount

I don't see any major gains, if any, by swapping to another solid cam. Roller would be your next step. Indy heads can handle a lot more than .615" lift, so 1.6 rockers would be a plus on the top end charge. After that, I agree with others. Weight reduction, headers? compression?

Like we talked, something is definitely goin on and the 60ft to me is where everything starts and needs to be fully rockin by the 330 then of course enuff fuel system to keep it charging forward. Is it spinning? Any video?

That makes no sense... and a cam change isn't going to "fix" it, unless you've also wiped it and don't know it, yet.
