Yeah, you shouldn't be getting blower surge from a cam in a properly setup street application. Is it as bad as some of these?

Seconding the "needs a proper tune" camp, and possibly a cam replacement. You don't know the cam profile that you have in it? That would help a lot.

Also, stroking it out as a fix is horribly inefficient since you want streetability. Keeping what sounds to be a wild cam and adding cubes is just gonna exacerbate the problem. You'd gain the low end grunt you're looking for, but it's not really fixing the issue at hand, it's just spreading the animal over a wider RPM range. You might even end up with an even less tame engine. The profile of the lobes is your issue here, either a proper tune for timing, fuel etc. is going to fix it, or a swap to a more mild cam will. Beyond that I don't think there's many options.
