Cam question 87 tbi.. Manual trans, manual brakes...

I have a tbi 350 in a project that has a manual transmission, manual 4/disk and no heat. You could say vacuum not critical in the scheme of this ride other than making the map sensor happy. Anyhow my question is I have a nice set of tpi heads that flow good and an aluminum tbi intake, and want to keep my efi but maybe get a more aggressive cam profile. I know the stock one like the heads doesn't allow the motor to perform at its full potential so I'm searching.. The problems I see are with auto transmissions or power brakes... Neither apply to this vehicle. My question is without scrappin the tbi for a tpi or aftermarket EFI what's the farthest I can go can wise? It has a aftermarket chip as well. Thanks guys

they have lots of good info I chose the summit 1102 can for my build but haven't run it yet. You can go bigger with cam they tend to not want to idle very well when you go bigger they jump around at idle
