Default I want MORE!!!!!

so i just got 4.56 installed yesterday! and boy oh boy i love them!... but its not enough!!! hahaha. . Im thinking of a cam, 52mm tb, and Heads.
PLEASE suggest what kind of cam i should get, i mean i want a NASTY cam! if i have to replace the valve train than i will!. and heads, i want some some NASTY heads as well. Should i have the stock ones port/polish etc or should i get some already done? how big of a cam and heads can i go with stock bottom end (piston,rods etc) Im a torque lover so any set up that will get some torque all through the power band than it would be awesome! i already have some good mods (on my signature) which are great BUT I WANT MORE.

I really appreciate your guy's input!

note: the beast just hit 150k, would it handle the new mods? I dont want to get a 408 just yet since it is my one and only daily driving truck

What parts you want depends on what you want from your truck. If you want a track only truck...... or a trail only truck, or something in between? (you can't have both.....) How you use your truck makes all the difference in the world as far as parts selection. Towing/hauling/off-roading/mudding/rocking, what is it you want??

get a cam with a high duration...as high as possible. Higher duration means nastier. It also means "less streetable", "less driveable", and "holy crap my car just stalled under hard braking."

thanks guys. TRUST me I would go for a 408 or 440 but just not yet. I live in a apartment complex and i wont be able to take my time and built her up.
like i said, it is my daily driven auto and i want it as crazy as it can be but it would have to be street-able, I wanna be at 500tq to the rear. If the engine goes (wooops hehehe) than I'll get a stroker! If you guys think that it would be smarter to save up and get a stroker than I will. Thanks guys, keep on posting!
