Default best heads/cam for SS4000

What is the most powerful heads and cam package on the market that would work well with a SS4000? i want the most power obviously and i know there are threads out there about this but i cant find them. all i want to do is bolt them on only, no fly cutting or special machining. ive been looking for a good setup for months now and i cant make up my mind lol. doest have to be a package really i'll by them separate if i have to if thats what it takes to get the most power, choppy idle would be nice too. any and all input is appreciated.
