Everything but the heads looks good, they will be your limiting factor, even ported and polished , you most likley will not get all the power out of the cam and intake. Try for some GT40's and have them ported, or run the E7's or now and savr for some AFR's or Trick Flows. I know sidewayz has good set of GT40's he wants to sell.

I have gt-40's on my car now and i would'nt waste my time with them if i was you i would just wait until the funds are right and pick youself up a set of heads like JD just said TF'S or AFR'S,and as with the cam and intake what kind of powerband do you want out of this thing and also is it a daily driver,so let me know exactly what you want out of the motor and i can probaly help you more with a good combo..

you can find nice alum used heads in the 500 range..the cam I would pass on....you need more lift on the exhaust..the intake is ok, but I would gasket match it....

well the intake i have, so its a keeper lol, and i will gasket match it.
i found a cam local for 150 so i asked u guys about it.... i dont wanna go over 200 cdn for a cam right now if i dont have to. vfasts e cam is sounding good to me.. but will the e cam work good for me? and does it have a nice lumpy idle?

as for what i want.. a daily driver for about 4 months a year, but i dont go too far..school..work..screwin around, i want something with some deceont low end torque like it has, but i want to pull a lot harder in the high rmps, stock motor it just is so slow up high, i wanna rev like 5800-6500 (6500 is most)

maybe i will look into using e7s for now and save for some nice alum heads.
