ok.. enough from me... just thinking out loud here

Yes, definitely get a bigger cam put in there to get the most out of your new heads & intake. With a cam, heads, intake...it will pull up to 6000rpms...instead of dieing off at 5000 like you mentioned. Just shop around and do your research to hopefully find a cam that has "some" low end, as well as more top end than the stock cam. I run the B-303 w/ 1.72 roller rockers. It doesn't have a whole lot of torque under 3000rpms...but you can't notice it much with all of the extra horsepower from the heads, intake, cam. It's still a very streetable set up...but I'm sure there are some better cams out there. I rebuilt my motor about 4-5 years ago...so I didn't have the selection of aftermarket cams that are available for the 5.0 now.
