Intake Manifolds/Cylinder Heads/Camshafts questions

Did you try a search for that topic yet? I think there might be a few hundred answers already on here.

The 2nd link in my sig made 280rwhp/306rwtq. Change that combo to a TrickFlow Track Heat intake, a set of AFR 165s or 185s and a 65mm TB and it'd easily be in the low 300s

What are some good intake manifolds, cylinder heads, and camshafts for this 5.0l engine? Let's say I want to make 300+ rwhp N/A w/o a supercharger for a while. What would get me there? What would my rwhp be with full exhaust, pulleys, and gears, and whatever other bolt-ons before the I/H/C combo? Then what can I expect afterward? I was leaning toward an Edelbrock RPM I or II manifold, either Edelbrock or AFR Heads, and I'm not sure on the camshafts. Btw, I don't have all the money for this yet I'm just trying to decide and plan out what I want to do to my car. Thanks for the help. Also, post your set-up if you like, that would help also .

I average about 30 miles a day driving, I also get 18-20 MPG on the highway and 12-15 MPG in the city. I also have run a best 12.086 @ 113.21 MPH with this setup and I still have power everything including A/C.
