With that set of gears you will not have any problem by getting quicker on the power range, besides 111 LSA will also help you

LG G5X3 or G5X2
Either way, upgrade to a good dual spring like a Comp 921 or Patriot Gold.
Pick a cam in the 230+ duration range with .595-.610 lift and put it on a 110-113lsa and the thing is going to pull/lope/ put a smile on your face.

any help willbe greatly appreciated. If you're going to build a header, is it going to be short/mid/long?
Makes a huge difference for your cam selection.
