Looking for a new set of heads and Bigger Cam

What suggestions do you guys have as I am looking to get a new set of heads and a bigger cam...
Currently I have a LT4 hot cam with a 1.6 roller rockers and a set or port and polished heads but just not feeling like it has enough power anymore.
Any suggestions as to what I could put in now to make it better. I have a stall and a freshly built transmission in this car the transmission was built for racing and running a 3000 stall on it.
Heck the engine was just rebuilt last year when I purchased it from the guy but I just want more power.

Car is a 96 Trans Am.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys have.

no dyno numbers(which are irrelavent to me)no track times to dispute whether you are maxed out or not..

alot of variables here whether the stall is flashing where it needs to be..who p/p heads?
cam choices are better than what you have,but wanting more power a cam is not a fix all either..

ever considered a power adder?..a 150 shot might satisfy ya?

www.advancedinduction.com would be a good place to start.

Or a less expensive alternative would be to just go with a more aggressive camshaft.

Re: Looking for a new set of heads and Bigger Cam

My lift is maxed out as 1.6 roller rockers give you max lift i do know that... Could supercharge it but i want a better setup before i spend the money on super charger.
Have an eagle bottom end.
forged pistons...
not a big fan of the 150 shot as its still street driven ...

The lt4 vs. stock has a dramatic difference thats for sure but even from what i read after you get used to the lt4 you will want something more powerful which is the case now...Sounds awesome with the flowmaster exhaust i get compliments all the time on how well it sounds.
