Default what should i do??- intake/cam

so iv finaly maned up and im going to start and mod my car. over the winteri realy want to get a new intake, preferably a holley. theres no way i can do the whole h/c/i rite now but im trying to do the intake and i can possibly do the cam. would it make that big of a difference if instead of just doing intake, i do intake and cam?

Doing an intake and cam will benefit you more than just doing an intake but the real benefit is in the heads. You're going to see the most gains in an h/c/i by changing your heads.

Plan for the whole combo and make sure the parts work together. If your getting the holley intake consider their matching cam. I would also consider what is to come, if you plan later to add the heads to the combo a cam that compliments the intake w/stock heads won't do justice on the holley heads. Just know that if you've got a plan build for the end result or you'll end up with mix matched parts that don't do hat u want them to. Holley makes a good combo. Buddy o mine did the combo,"heads,cam,and intake" on his 93 hatch and it made it a consistant 12.5 car on motor.
