Default More power?

I bought the Edelbrock 410hp top end kit. Was wondering what options are out there to increase the power output without boosting it. Would changing the performer rpm cam out for the rollin thunder cam be worth a try?

Doesn't that kit come with a cam? I'm not sure I'd buy a complete kit, and then start changing things inside the kit. The whole idea is the kit is matched components that they have determined work together well. Otherwise you're going to possibly end up with less HP than they rated it.

The stock engine has 64k on it. Replacing it with a four bolt main block. The kit is rated for 410hp and 408 ft/lb torque. It's bored .030 over, steel crank, 750 performer carb. The cam I have is the performer rpm with hydraulic lifters. The rollin' thunder cam is a roller assembly and wasn't sure if it would make much of a difference.
