Look into some PRC/Patriot/Livernois stage 1 heads. Won't cost you much more than having your stockers ported and milled. I'd think you could do 400 with that cam. I have the PRC LS6 heads and could not be happier... Maybe search for your cam in the dyno section and see what guy's are getting out of it.
