You can perform a cam swap.  The problem with the '86 motors is the lack of valve reliefs on the pistons.  Be very careful with cam selection for piston to valve clearance.  To be honest, I would invest in a different set of heads and flycut the pistons before I changed cams.  Is the car converted to mass air?
