Get some ARP rodbolts installed.

Or, stick with the stock LS revlimit and spend money on boltons.

Are you still using the LS slugs? Cams would be a waste, because your lacking compression.

Mill the head and use a 2 layer HG. Flat valves would help as well..
Then run some Type R cams.

You need more compression to make power.
