Your best gain starts with the cam, then port the heads. The intake/TB will pick you up half as much as either of these.

I will say that for head work I'd go with LandSpeed Development.

I see that you haven't got a reply on a cam and some other things, so I'll give my opinion as if it were my car - I'd go with a cam in the high 230's-low 240's range, 110-111 seperation in at 108, be sure to check piston to valve. Get a good double spring kit to go with the cam, put as much rear gear in it as you can stand, and get a bias slick for consistancy. You'll need a heavy duty rear locker diff if you don't have that covered already.

Good Luck
