Default what is a good top and bottom set for daily driver ?

Hey I'm looking into purchasing a good set of heads and intake as well as plenum.(fairly inexpensive). Also a cam to go along with it. Any opinions? I dont make a lot as I am only a SSgt in the Air Force.

you could always run the classic combo everyone goes for, it's relatively inexpensive compared to others. just the Cobra Intake, GT-40 Heads, and the ford racing E-Cam

with those heads you'll need some special headders i believe the mac shorties are what most use.
but i think the ones below would fit a tight budget a little better

with the gt40 heads you shouldnt need different headers, only with the gt40p heads. im using a set of ebay shorties that work fine with my gt40p heads
