which cam is better

Hey guys I just installed a cobra upper and lower intake. The sad thing is that I dont really feel a difference but anyways. Im thinking about buying a cam but dont know which one. My engine is stock except for the intake. Would a cam help pretty big with hp and or torque teamed with the intake. I have a mac cold air intake with a 70 maf. The throttle body is stock. What would be better a bigger tb or a cam. If the cam would help the most which cam would be best.

1995 auto mods:
pullies, mac cold air intake, 70 maf, performance shift kit, cobra upper and lower intake, 3:73 gears, o/r h-pipe, headers, 1 chamber flows.

With stock heads the cam wont help much either. If I were you I would pull off the stock heads and have them ported or upgrade to GT-40 or similar heads.

Then go with a 65mm TB and 67mm egr spacer.

Dark 5.0 is right, defintely the heads next, wait on the cam and match it to your intake and heads. In my opinion the stock 5.0 cams shouldnt be changed unless you knock out the heads or anything major.
