Well, a cam is going to pick it up more in the upper rpm range. It will essentially shift the hp curve to the right. That means you'll lose some of your bottom end, but you'd gain top end.

Head work would increase power everywhere and would let your cam work easier, so the power would stay with you more in the higher rpm ranges.

Do you have a budget figure in mind?
