Downtime: send your heads off to be ported by someone, www.foxlakeracing.com did my 2v's
no down time: either buy ported heads outright, or buy a set off a wrecked truck and send them out. obviously this costs more but you have your daily driver.

Also I really dont want to get underdrive pullies as I have a 2500 watt amp coming in the near future and dont want my lights to dim...

From what i have seen on these trucks there isnt really a head and cam package out for them. You can of course get your existing heads ported and polished which will usually make for some substantial gains. Cams youd probably be looking at a company to custom grind some for you. Both of these would probably be somewhat expensive. I would start with the headers and a good exhaust with a tune to go with it all.
When your trying to go fast you can only go so far with bolt on parts. Then you have to go to the big dollar parts but they also make the largest difference. The only one that will make you a good chunk faster without breaking the bank is adding a nitrous system.
