You have to ditch the gears man. The only reason I could see keeping them would be if you had over 450ci of big block torque, or a positive displacement blower on your smallblock. Even then 2.73's will still hold you back.
Get some 3.73's or 4.10's and it will wake your car up big time! If you still are not happy I would go with Trick flows for heads with a good breathing meidum runner intake. With your cam the 2.02 valve may cause clearence problems with the World heads but I'm not sure what kind of notches you have in your pistons.. The trick flows may give you enough room without notching them.

Gears!
