First off my car runs pretty good and the guy who built my motor knows what he is doing but he is def a little old school. Im no expert and I know a lot of you guys are, I was wondering if im leaving some streetable power on the table with my cam. set up is 351w, afr 185 58cc, full exaust, edelbrock performer rpm intake, 750 holly, 1.7 rockers, 10.5 compression ratio, comp 292h cam. Any ideas what kind of power im making now? Hoping for 350-370 rwhp. Other than a custom cam is there a better option? I know its a lot of questions but never know if i dont ask.

I'm no expert, but my gut says to go with a better intake if you are keeping the cam.
OR
Go with a different cam if you are keeping the intake.
Bottom line is that cam is on the ragged edge of what would be considered 'street friendly'.
So the choice for you, if you want street manners, is to go with a more modern and somewhat smaller cam.

Just my opinion... worth what you paid! ;)
 
To clarify further....
You could make alot more power with a different intake, but it might take away some street manners from what it has now, if any.
If it was 'me', I'd try an intake first.
Easier/cheaper than cam, and couldn't hurt.
