IMO, I would just get a different cam and then get a decent size stall. Get something that's gonna make some power up top.
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I can't reiterate this enough. You still have ton of power left in that combo with the right cam. It is the MOST important part of a build if already have a good set of heads. You could potentially have 5-10% more power waiting to be untapped with the right cam. If don't do it right the first time you will eventually get annoyed and end up doing it over again. Don't just get another FR cam. They are not designed to work with your specific build. Please post this topic in the 5.0L General Discussion section and see what type of advice you get.
