I'd say go with headers.

edit: oops, Just noticed you had headers. A cam sounds like a good idea. But I would probably do some suspension mods.

A cam.

You need to get that .390"/.410" POS out of there. I'd suggest one of the Comp XE cams, either the XE262 or XE268 depending on your converter. Stock converter = 262, higher stall = 268.
