Default What Cam, lifters etc for a std YB 4x4 engine?

Im after as much power as I can get from my std engine, is there a cam or set of cams that can improve the performance of my engine, Stg3 std internals, T34 .63- 803s etc
Also I want to be able to raise the revs a bit if needed too so untill I take the head off is there anything I can do to topend while still in 1piece ie lifters and cams to improve power etc.
I dont want to ruin the drive with a NAFF idle so any ideas?

so std cams and lifters wont be a problem if I change the injectors and give it more boost? If its held regularly near the limiter what is likely to fail, I dont want valves through pistons etc

I wouldn't want to raise thre revs too much, as the valves are not unknown to hit the pistons at higher revs, unless pocketed.
