Default horsepower help

hey so i was wondering if someone could tell me what cam and heads would work the best and make the the best performance with what i have on my car now, and if there is any other parts i could get on the cheaper side to gain more hp maybe a set of roller rockers?? I have a 5.o motor with bbk headers, cold air intake, 3.73, gt4o upper and lower intake, and full exhaust.

Heads and cam are usually a good starting point for significant power gains. And you have a dizzying array of choices. Personally, I would use a Comp Cams dual pattern cam and Dart 195 heads. Excellent power potential and reasonable cost.

The roller part of roller rockers do not add appreciable power. They're a wise investment for anything over about .500 lift to prevent side loading of the valve stem.

If you're sticking with a stock cam, then add the Cobra 1.7 rockers for a little power increase.
