Default upgrade cam and intake

going to upgrade cam to e 303 and change intake to a typhoon is this a good combo with a stock 5.0 motor on a 91 with 4.11 gear?

sounds like a good deal man =D then you just need to change the throttle body and the heads, then get some exhaust she'll breath really well then =D give ya plenty more pony's under the hood.

There are better cams out there in the same price range i.e. TFS Stage 1.

you can run the stock heads, but if you can afford it, you might as well get new heads while you have it all apart. You will feel HUGE gains if you do the heads at the same time as well...

So wait...it's ok to get an aftermarket cam (In my case...TrickFlow Stage 1 cam when you guys let me ) if you upgrade to an aftermarket intake? (TrickFlow Street Heat..for example)...I thought you should only get a cam when and Only when you upgrade to new heads? Will the upgraded cam not...lower the 'performance' of a stock 5.0 w/ out heads? or is the intake 'enough' to help make the cam more useful...?
