Every stock motor needs a cam.. badly, this is the single biggest bang for your buck upgrade you can make. My suggestion would be something like the Comp Cams 35-238-3.

another thing u might want to do is port the heads if you already havent already.I ported the heads on my sons pure stock pulling truck with a kit from eastwood was about 50 bucks and that included the air tool nothing fancy just slicked up the exhaust ports real good and gasket match the intake and exhaust.
