if it were me though, i would put a cam in it as you dont have to pull a bunch of crap to install an intercooler later. with a cam you have to disassemble a lot of stuff to do that with the motor in the car.
i vote for cam, headers. GEN V. this combo for me netted low 12s with no ic, I don't see many(any?) No cam cars running 12.3s so IMO, cam only makes more power than IC only.
