What are the cam specs? I would say you're numbers aren't bad considering you've picked up a little over 100hp from a cam and basic bolt ons. However, without knowing the cam specs it's just an educated guess.

Better question would be are my curves good? When does the torque come in and at what level? When does the torque fall off? HP, same thing? For a street car, you want broad curves regardless of the peak numbers. Focusing on the peak numbers is only for bragging rights not getting you down the road enjoyably. You want torque to be flat and broad and to be there when the throttle is fully opened. You want HP to steady increase from the moment the throttle is hammered or very shortly there after if you do the pull from low RPMs ~2000rpms.

Getting the curve posted would be best if you can.
