well first you have the wrong intake and throttlebody way to much as for the cam not much gain there with stock heads....itwould be better to open up the exhaust add some pullies etc while you save for some heads

I would get a bigger cam, put all that stuff on until you get some better heads. You will see a increase in hp, but will be limited until the heads. But you can enjoy until then.

i dont wantto put heads on it.im not looking for speed,and ill never use the bottol.i just want it to look and sound good for car shows.i have 2 slipped disk and a pinched nerv in my neck so im not trying to go fast and by the way,my brothers car ran a 12.80 at milan with the same set up i have but he has a tremic trans and a cobra upper and lower so i know it will run good,im just not sure about the cam shims?

well you intake rpm range is no where close to what that engine runs at...a cobra intake would be better......buying a cam just for a lope to get notice is silly..you would be better off just installing a set of 1.7 rockers offtop my head would be about .472.
throw a set of 4;10's pulleys,180 stat,2.5" exhaust,rockers,better headers,65mm t/b you be fine

B-cam with 1.7s would be about .512 lift. 1.6s is .480 lift.
