the heads are the most restrictive part on your car so i would do them first

absolutely not...and stanglx is correct as well.

a lot of guys build up to a head swap by doing all the other induction first...but it's pretty worthless until you do heads.

so yes, first thing to do really......doing the cam then is a bonus cuz your tore down already, but the stock cam really isn't all that bad, nice drivability and stock sounding.

you can go 11's on stock bottem end pretty ez. shortly you will be taxing the stock fuel system so 190 and 24 lb'ers when you reach 300 hp.

doing the intake and tb/maf later is easily done.
