Default 2016 SGS HP help

I am trying too learn as much as I can about my future steps. I currently have a 16 SGS with Two Bros header and pipes, andrews 57h cams, power vision and heavy breather intake. I have been told the 110ci is a good step but I have also been told theres more power too get out of that 103ci. Headwork? I was looking at LarryWFO as he's local to me, I have also been told that I can change pistons and up my compression. Basically I want reliable but a bump in lower end power. What do you recommend?

Find a reliable engine builder and have them put together an integrated engine mod list. Once you go beyond bolt-on mods, everything got to work together. You can get your heads reworked, increase compression/pistons, change throttle body, upgrade your valves, lifters on and on. Just takes $$.
Just be aware, more power=more heat=less reliability generally speaking.

With what I have now is it worth doing head work?

As kojak mentioned find a good reliable builder, tell them what you are looking for and they will help you achieve it. I would actually talk to multiply builders that will give you different opinions and more to draw from. You can definitely get a lot more out of the 103 without going to a 110. Also consider how you ride in terms of RPMs. If you take it to the red line regularly you’ll want a high reving cam, if you want instant take off you may want more of a torque cam but you’ll lose some top end. Good luck
