Default Need your opinions/thoughts for engine upgrade

I have a 355 6.250 rod SBC with 10.8 CR.
Comp cams hydraulic roller 230/236 @.050 - .510/.520 lift
Bowtie heads 184 intake runners with 2.02I -1.60E. Exhaust ports had some minor porting. Currently has beehive springs with 1.7 Int -1.6 Ex crower rockers, stud girdle and rev kit. Cam lift with rockers us now .570 ish lift on intake and .555 on exhaust.

I am now wanting to change my cam to a solid roller, because I am not happy with the rpm's of a hydraulic roller. 6700rpm's is the limit when peak HP is at 6300. I want to be able to turn this motor 7500 if I need to and I know a comparable solid roller will allow me to turn the engine the rpms I am desiring.

Along with this cam change I was thinking about switching to some aluminum heads. I was looking at the Brodix race-rite 200 heads. Will or shouldn't these heads help with my configuration of new cam etc?

I know this is a long post, but wanted to give all info, so hopefully you guys can give me a somewhat informed opinion.

thanks.
