Here are some numbers for a camshaft that should bring your RPM range up to 6400-6500. The numbers are 228/232 588/595 with a 118 lobe seperation and a 1.7 rocker ratio. You will also have to upgrade your valve springs. For this we recommend the Comp Cams 921 springs (more installed height will also be required).

The cam specs that I sent you would be the best for what you are wanting to do. The cam that you have may work (you would need new valve springs for the cam that you have). Our recommendation is the specs that we gave you. Either way you go let us know how it turns out.
Good Luck,
Ryan
