Cam and heads on stock TPI ???

Is this gonna work or be worth it?
I am assuming the stock TPI will be a major bottle neck. I am contemplating what to do to the Iroc this summer.
I'm thinking possibly heads and cam or a nitrous setup.
But I know I cant afford to go and put on anew intake as well. unless someone wants to sell me a super ram for $300...???

I have a 88 Iroc Z and just put in a ZZ3 camshaft, ported my intake myself (TPI) had the heads which are cast iron ported and put in Manley valves. Also redid the air intake system and it made a huge difference on my midrange and low end power. It already had a dynomax catback on it but it sounds good. I just hope my automatic can handle it.
