It doesn't produce the power its supposed to because it has run the lobes off. Thats my guess.

Or one of MANY other reasons!
Have you meassured the cam and lifters for wear to know they are the cause of your low power?

There are a couple of ways that I know of...
You can meassure lift using a dial gauge, or meassure base to tip using a vernier, both will tell you how worn the lobes are.

tape measure it innit,
total height of cam lobe minus width of cam lobe if that makes sense, or dial gauge like Karl says.
I wouldn't choose wither of those two cams tbh. I would choose a cv34 and at a push a 285t (not t2). Just personal preference at the end of the day, a 1.9 IMO won't be a rev monster. Or a newmans like every one says.
Rob,
