Unless you plan on changing the intake manifold-you're wasting your time with new cams.

Or at least porting the heads!
Just a cam swap will be more money and trouble then it's worth.

Get rid of the throttle body spacer and try a good tuner. Also gears would be a good option if that is in the budget.
