If you are trying to fatten both your lower midrange and highend power at once you'll probably have a hard time finding cam settings that'll help you attain both power goals simultaneously.
The +2/0 setting you're currently running is great for midrange torque and fast turbo spool but it won't help at all on the topend. It is in addition, knock prone on throttle tip-in and idles way choppy. Did you dyno with this particular setting?
The most you can hope for is to find a setting that'll improve the "upper" midrange and topend. If you retard the intake cam it'll lower your dynamic compression allowing you to add more ignition timing while leaning out the AFR's some. This might get better results than increasing the boost another couple PSI.

Charlie, Stop playing with the damn car and drive it! You are making 500 WHP. The car freakin rips. What more do you want? You are a post *****. If you want the car to go faster than spend some more time at the track and run a respectable number. The car is never going to go faster if the driver does not learn to go faster. You are trapping at 124 MPH! That is really fast. The car has 11.1 ET potential as it sits. You are miles away from that right now due to slow shifting and granny launches. If your goals are simply dyno numbers and fast MPH, than please state that. I saw a recent post of your where you said that you were shooting for 10's this season.
How is that ever going to happen if you do not take the car to the track? This guy was banned from Evo NY for being a post ***** and he should be banned from here for the same thing. He begs for advice that he never takes. He just likes the sound of his keyboard clicking as he types.
I am not one to rip on someone like this, but after a couple of years of listening to this and witnessing it first hand. I am done!
