Default Intercooler or turbo cam???

I have a 94 camaro z28 with the sts set-up. I'm currently running the lt4 hotcam with my turbocharger. I know it's not the best cam to run. But this summer I either plan to do a turbo cam swap 224/224 536/536 114 or go with a front mount intercooler set-up. I'm currently already running meth. injection. I plan to use both. I heard it will make a huge difference running a intercooler. I only plan to do one of the two this summer. Which one would be the best to go with??

No one really knows what a turbo cam is supposed to be anyway.

Intercooler, When I installed my intercooler I dropped .5 PSI and picked up 40 horsepower.

Do I need to have my car re-dyno tuned once I install this intercooler. Basically with it throw off the tune.

Intercooler. The IC and the meth will work together and will net you more power than the cam alone. Plus it will reduce detonation potential and increase the safety factor in case your meth runs out.
