Default Which H/I?

For 92 GT:

Ok, so I need an intake and a set of heads. I was just wondering what combo to go with? I need an intake right away because of my bigger TB and EGR spacer and too lazy to go get the opening bored out just to replace it soon. So intake now, then I need a set of heads that'll match up nicely to it. Price is not an issue, as long as it's reasonable (no intake that's worth $500 or heads that are worth $4000, you know? just as a guideline) Just throw whatever you got at me. Oh yah, emissions DO NOT MATTER, they don't check that here.

Current mods are as follows:

B303 Cam (temporary, to be replaced later possibly, or just may go with 1.7's, haven't decided)
Mac Equal Shorties 1 5/8"
Mac CAI
C&L 73mm MAF Calib for 24* (only have 19's in my car atm)
Holley 70mm TB
BBK 70mm EGR spacer
Smog gone
3 inch exhaust from headers back, no cats, flowmasters w/ custom H-Pipe and 3inch straight tips

Think that's it so far, but not sure. w/ driveline changes that won't affect anything.

Any suggestions would be great. TY sirs

Just took a few pics, maybe you can see something I missed :\ And the old vid I'll include if interested, of it running. Fixed it since then, needed both the A/C and Fuel Pump relay... go figure, pull out the wiring from another car and just so happens both relays which are identical go bad :\ and I figured out the MAF is bad too, so it runs with the turn of the key now.

Cheapest? WTF, intakes must be expensive down there... I know I can get that specific intake for about $225CAD here, and yes, that's both upper and lower before I get asked. (do they even sell them separate aha)

I've been thinking about AFR 165's for awhile now, seem that they're best bang for buck from what I've read. What would be the best intake to go with that, I'm looking to up the HP more than torque right now, since stock they put out a stupid amount of torque anyway.

Edelbrock RPM II or the Holley Systemax for the intake... If you're going to buy AFR's, but the 185's, that will leave you room to grow... Good luck
