No point in putting a cam in with stock heads.

You will notice a modest gain from an intake of maybe 10-12 HP.

If your going to go with heads that flow better than ported E7 or GT40 heads - like the Twisted Wedge, Performer, or AFR heads, get the Performer/Cobra/Street Heat intakes. If your going to stay stock E7 or GT40 head, a well ported strock lower intake will make better torque and the same power across the off-idle to 5,200rpm band. Paste the link in my signature for more information on that.
