based on personal experience, owning (2) aod cars and (3) 5-speed cars i would do this if i were you.
i will assume you are all stock, if you are not, then thats a bonus

1) 4.10 gears (you will "feel" like you just added 100 hp)
2) do the trans, either buy a lentech, or at minimum do a 3000 stall, oil cooler, shift kit
3)then do the heads,if you are gonna usean out of the box aluminum head, you can get buy w/ the stock intake for now, it will actually support about 300 hp, if money permits , absolutely do an intake/head swap simultaneous , if your planning on port work, you can still use the stock intake, but you'll be limiting yourself there.

as far as choices go ? i still think the gt40 (real one) is the best intake out there , AFR seems to be the chioice of all these days, but you wouldn't be disapointed in a nice set of aluminum gt40's either , w/ the money you save, polish the exhaust ports, and have fun with it.
