Stick with the stock cam.....

At the very least get some GT40's

Wait till you have the heads, an intake, and cam before you swap any of it.

They work ok with the stock cam, but you won't gain anything with a bigger cam unless you have a lot of work done to them, which isn't cost effective with all of the aftermarket heads available.

The heads are the only item in the 3 that I would change by itself. Swapping the intake, TB, and MAF first does help but not much. Better throttle response.....

Those stock heads are the bottleneck.
Can't really change them without doing the cam and intake also.....

That just depends on how much money you have to spend, what your goals are and how often you plan on driving it.....
