Default More power with same camshaft?

Hey guys,

Just curious if you all think its possible for my car to make more overall power with say more trick head work, compression (if my cam allows it) and maybe intake work. The cam is a 236/244 .570ish 112 LSA XE lobes, heads are basic ported 195cc trickflows, motor makes 521 HP and 410 RWHP through single exhaust probably around 420 RWHP now with open cutouts.

Just an idea!!

If you are chasing ETs then i would look for more gear/stall instead of more power, but with more port work you can surely pick up over mildly massaged TFS heads...they have tons of potential.

not really chasing ET mostly because the car is primarily a street machine, i cant afford to go to the track and blow rear ends / trannys. the car drives really nice now with the 3.23 gears and 3000 stall (more like a 3500 though)
