Keep the cams, keep the head. All depends upon power level, purpose, which turbocharger you're using (PLEASE DO NOT GIVE US "PSI/BAR" LEVELS, THAT MEANS NOTHING), just like in the last thread you made..

If you're still stuck on THIS aspect, then the head won't matter. It's what you do with it. Camshaft you'll need to see the people in Drag Racing, like Kelford, Drag Cartel, and Pryoonto Racing for all those answers. Contact them directly with your full build specifications. You'll get MUCH better answers than here, because... It's all based upon preference, cost, and purpose.

Get the basics first. Turbocharger and exhaust manifold choice will need to be determined first . Then you can play around with the "head games" *snicker* excuse the pun.

You are really something! Good memory! That is for the help, some guy told me that I need to replace the intake manifold, I tried to search it, but no result ...
The turbo I'm using is GT4292
Thanks again!

You must mean the GT4202 Turbocharger, or GT4294, which is really more for over 1000hp. 800whp can be done by many others.

Considering that either one uses a 4.2" inlet as a v-band clamp, you've got your work cut out for you.

The intake manifold choice will be based upon the exhaust manifold and intercooler piping setup that you use. You can use anything from an eXcessive Motorsport central plenum styled manifold, to an RBC or similar exhaust manifold.

Like I stated, Choice is on Turbo/ exhaust manifold , then you worry about the other stuff. Start checking out the the other 800hp GT42 setups on the Drag racing forum to make some decisions.

Look at what FITS first (including what fits your budget), THEN worry about the intake manifold.

You'll need something aftermarket for that power goal anyway, so, it really doesn't matter if they're the same or not (They're basically the same OEM, anyway.)
