Will there be much difference if i just do the new intake and 4 barrel before i get headers? I know the performance wont be as great without it, but i have to do one thing at a time. Plus the new carb will make my car much more reliable for the time being.

Im going with an Edelbrock performer Intake manifold, and an edelbrock 600cfm carb. Any suggestions of a bigger carb for my motor? Just wanted your oppinions. Thanks

Well if your car is running like crap and you're sure its because of the carb then you'll notice alot more difference changing the carb and intake. I don't think there is much difference between a good exhaust and bad intake or a bad exhaust and good intake ... either way your engine is restricted. I'd go with the intake side, that way while you're waiting for the exhaust at least your car will be idling good and starting good and getting better milage. As for the edelbrock 600, i probably shouldn't say it but all i see there is an old Carter AFB that they've probably updated... i didn't like them back then and i wouldn't buy one now ... but thats just my humble opinion.
