"and will probably always want the stock cam becuase it's a daily driver with minemal strip use."

"It sounds to me like he wants to get as much power as he can in the future and wants to develop a good plan to get there."

Doesnt sound to me like someone sticking with the stock cam wants as much power as he can in the future?

Yes, stud mount rockers are stronger, but completely unnecesary for his plans. Pedestal mount work great up to the higher horsepower numbers, which he will never see.

to install an intake now, then tear it off again when you put heads on in a year doesnt seem like the easiest way to do things. Put the heads on first, then when you add your new intake, the heads stay right where they are, you dont even have to mess with your valvetrain. This is why i suggested the heads and roller rockers as your sttarting point. And heads should give you more power alone than an intake alone.

To jump into heads at first though is really not a good plan anyway. Why dont you start with bigger maf meter, 65mm TB, then do the heads and intake at the same time.
