Gt40s are ok, but if your ganna do intake and cam you will need to change out heads or you wont see much of a difference! Get the heads of the explorer and port them to match the intake.

The biggest difference you are gonna feel is when you get a set of gears installed.
Do not change the cam unless you change the heads.
Steeda has a good cam but they are more oriented at the 94/95 5.0's because of their computers tune.
Finish your exhaust and it will sound great. The exhaust note will change a little when you change the intake.
Get some roller rockers.
