need help with some swaps

ok i got two camaros...

an 1986 z-28 LB9 converted to a carb set up

and an 1989 iroc-z LO3(idk if originally a real irock or RS its got 15inch rims but the iroc decals in the dash n ground effects n the bumper)

but anyway the question is will i get more power with the cam from the iroc engine or should i just leave the z-28 be

the block is shot on the LO3 but the heads and the cam are ok ive checked the tech articles seems like the 86 has more power than the 89iroc.. but since i switched from the 89iroc to 86z28.. the 86 z-28 seems slower

some info on this situation would be nice thanks

The cam is better in the LB9 than the LO3.

The exhaust of an LO3 and LG4 are worse than the LB9.

LG4 exhaust would make an LB9 a dog.
