I asked the cam question a while back. If there is a shaft upgrade out there, I'm not sure where you would find it. As it is with any head, you can always try milling it down or using a thinner head gasket but the compression is so high already that I'm not sure that would be a good idea. You'd most likely be sacrificing a good deal of reliability and longevity for that performance (but that's usually is the case).
There are a few things you can do to get some better numbers though. You can port out the header and have it Jet Hot coated (it looks pretty sweet too). You can go down to a 520 chain conversion and get reduced weight wheels, like dymags. Those modifications will probably be the best "bang for you buck" so to speak.
Beyond that, getting a Trident or Wolf exhaust and using a good tuneboy and/or PCIII map will help get your numbers a little higher. Messing with the pistons, crank and cams shouldn't be necessary.
