Default Performance Upgrades

Okay, I've got the Metzelers front and rear, dual disc brake front, upgraded the fuel system with a fuel pak, vance and hynes short shots, and a SE air filter. Should I upgrade the cams or the top end next? im leaning top end, but could use some advice.

If you do one, you should do the other. Head work without a cam upgrade is kinda senseless IMO.
