Without raising the compression, don't expect any real noticable improvement. As far as cams go, more lift helps low and mid range. More duration helps top end but will hurt overall operation if compression isn't raised, as in adding a higher compression head. In other words, if duration is increased without raising compression, overall performance will suffer because low compression won't give the engine enough power to kick the RPMs up to the point where the duration will be of benefit.
