Want more NA power

Currently have cammed 15 ss. What is the latest and greatest heads/cam/stroker options? I know most people are just throwing on a 2650 so considering that too.

Tons of head options. If you don't mind the down time, just get the stockers ported. You'll then need accompanying valvetrain. Where you're at you've got to seriously plan on what you want to do with it. Anything else gets pricey. I'd spend my money on parts to make the stuff you have work better.

I’m thinking bigger budget, 416 with Gpi max package and possibly solid roller. Msd manifold vs high ram. Or maybe this new idea that btr putting on LT heads on ls3? Or just buying a Thompson 416 or 427

I wouldn't forget about compression. 11.1 is a good place to be.

Have you reached out to Andrew Cammer yet? Here is a link to their Max 2.0 package if you haven't seen it already. Last weekend I buttoned up my 415, loaded Ryan's email tune & the car fired right up with no issues. I took it for a short drive & it was very easy to drive with no misses, stumbles or hesitation. I just need some better weather to data log some wot runs & send them back to Ryan.

I would try FED heads, high ram, any stroker with decent compression will crack 600rwhp with a decent cam

Yep, I have come to that conclusion as well. Boost is the way to go. You have two main options. Big cam big cubes or mild blower set up. As for driveability boosted can't really be beat.
I love the idea of big cubes all motor. But there are guys running mild cam, no head work on just well setup lsa builds pulling 10s easily and driving those cars all over the country.
Ultimately, boost from supercharger or turbo is the way to go. Just depends on how deep your pockets are.lol

I would try a LS7 top end for the cool factor but honestly you can make ton of power with their M311
