Most definitely,I agree with the others on this particular engine a cam change would not get you much HP per dollar spent....you would be disappointed in the gain with the $$$ you'd have to spend to get it...
A better set of heads along with a cam change would be the best HP per dollar spent and you can always sell the GT40X heads and get some money back on them....
As for cam/heads,I'm not sure what your looking in a total HP gain or drivability,you'd have to research that aspect of it before deciding on what parts you want to go with......

The motor is Ford Racing 351W/392 cid 'stroker' V8 [rated at 435 hp/ 420 lbs.ft. torque

I know that is the advertised ratings,but I've seen some magazine testings that showed the actual HP was more in the 475 HP range when they tested a couple of these crate engines for some builds they did....
I'd also try to get the specs on the cam that is currently in your engine and that will give you an idea of how much more cam you might want to go with...
