The stock one. I would wait on a cam until you get better heads & intake set up. you will not meet the potential of a hotter cam with stock carb/intake & heads, it actually could hurt performance I believe. This is just my opinion though.

so do you think it would be better to get a intake 4 barrel carb and headers then instead of the intake carb combo with headers or intake carb combo with cam and head work
