What heads and cam to change to?

Here is my setup,
stock rods and crank,cast .100 dome pistons, all balanced. edelbrock 600cfm carb wiend intake.
Right now i have a cheap summit 465/488 cam and 882 heads

I want to go all roller and get some good heads, but iim really not shure wich heads/cam will work well together and i dont want to waste my money anyone have any suggestions? remember i need big cc heads 72+ and im not shure how much lift i can have beacuse of the dome pistons.

check out AFR and Pro Lightning heads. Both flow well and can get large chambers. Also check out comp cams extreme energy hyd. roller cams.

Before any recomendations can be made, we need to establish a few things first:

What is the budget?
What is your compression as it stands with the '882' heads?
Define "full roller" setup please

Once you answer these questions, we can prescribe a few things.

Budget will be about 1500-2000 for the heads,im adding roller rocckers,lifters and cam. I think my compression is about 10-1 right now. I would like to stay under 5500rpms beacuse of my stock bottom end.
