^Tom is correct, current heads are 59cc 243 heads, milled not welded and filled. My goal is a bit more linear torque curve, and some more top end. It was suggested to me to maybe look at swapping heads to some TF 215's to achieve this as well.
After talking with some folks, flycutting is not as bad as what I had thought, I was unsure about running nitrous with the flycut, but that does not seem to be a problem. Tom, I know you did your own flycut, and do not have any problems.
What do you guys think would be a better route...bigger cam or keep my current cam, which is a great street cam, and get better heads???
Here is my current dyno fyi...448/410 (before my gears)

If you want a flatter, bigger tq curve...you need to open up the intake, not more cam. You've got the compression, you need more air in.
A bigger cam will only push that hp curve up and further out in the rpm's,as well as lower your effective compression, exactly opposite of what you want to achieve.
