After market cams. I'm not sure if you would have to mess with the computer for that or not.

go to compcams web site. and a little port work never hurt anyone especially with a set of headers. an old indian trick is to zero deck the block. just a couple ideas

Depending on the cams profile, you will have to retune the fuel mapping, the real question is, if you are going through a total rebuild why not go for a bump in HP, depending on how many miles on the block, you will probably have to do .10-.20 over for pistons anyway, add some mild cams and injectors and presto more HP's
