NO. As you decrease restriction(bigger cam, exhaughst, heads, etc) through the engine, boost goes down, and power goes up. Boost is just a mesure of restriction. Even with less boost you are getting more air through your engine, than someone with a stock cam and exhaughst.

That's what I thought too, but it seems that the LPE cams make more with less.

I thiny you could use more exhaughst duration, but that cam's not bad. I would run it. You could try some 1.8 rockers on the exhaughst.
