The 88s are geared slightly tall because Americans like lower rpms and it produces lower noise numbers for the EPA.
One thing you might consider before changing the cam is just changing your primary gearing.
Putting yourself in the correct power band with the stock cam will really improve the feel.
You swap out to a 24 tooth compensating sprocket and 37 tooth clutch basket to get a final drive ratio of 3.37 from your current 3.15. It can be done in a couple of hours and costs less than a cam change.

Not sure how many miles on your bike but I'd replace the spring tensioners with the new hydraulic setup while I'm in there.
