Sounds like the "while I'm there" bug has hit. Xfire just spent lots of $$ on ported heads and doesn't want to put stock cams back in! I'm in the same spot.
When I re-did my Xfire I read up on cam selection including some of Vizard's work. Seems obvious that the stock cams, altho working well, don't take full advantage of the additional airflow. If you're going to do the job, try to maximize the power output. On an SBC, it's easy enough to play with cams.
The LT5, not so much. If Marc H. is lurking maybe he could chime
in.
