You couldn't have much cheaper alternatives and gain horsepower.. I've never tried this but a spitball idea would be to put a scope down your spark plug hole and drive your piston up to top dead center first LOL.. and take a look the Piston the design and maybe how high it comes up? Maybe a cam change for someone like yourself mechanically inclined should be relatively easy. When you take the cam out you can have it looked at and make your cam Choice from there. The cam and lifters is not very expensive if you look in the right places.. just spitballing..

You’re a good man thank you. If I’m going to inspect the cam. All someone has to do is get the stamp number on the end. You look that stamp number up. It will tell you specs. It’s a bigger cam, I just don’t know what it is. Therefore, there’s probably really no need to buy another. I can verify what pistons are in it once heads are removed. Or use a camera as you suggested. I’m 95 % sure they are probably stock pistons. Heads are removable, meaning if that new head doesn’t work with my current parts. You can then have a shop install the right combo pistons and cam for that new head you installed. To some of you, you might do it differently. Spend 4-6 grand off the top to have a shop do 100 percent and I could have achieved what I wanted by only installing new heads alone to begin with if it works. But, if it can’t be done. It can’t be done.
