You can't just go and increase lift, unless you know for a fact there is adequate valve/piston clearance, but a call to piper or kent should help.

I would phone them, they can always do a one off grind, they're not much dearer than std off the shelf ones either.

as above, contact kent/pipe or even newman and get a better cam.
different ration rockers can only work if the fulcrum is moved, and that would be very expensive to do.
