I should probably have explained that our race bikes are NOT CB350 so it probably won't help you. But FYI, what we found worked on small bore bikes is cleaned ports, raised CR and a mild street & track cam. We found more race oriented cams lost power in the middle and gave us back nothing at the top end even after extensive porting, mild cams rock. On a CB72 we found the opposite. That now uses a drag race cam with ridiculous amounts of lift and not much duration. That bike comes off corners like a dragster - passes everything (that should be past tense).
Getting squish right helped burn rates power and overall torque too. And just setting things up properly - blueprinting if you will, also helps. get the wheels to spin freely, controls well adjusted, suspension spot on, motor with minimal internal drag, pistons and valves and rockers lightened and balanced, and carbs set up so it's clean and that's all it takes to get a bike that's easy to ride fast
