All good points Grady. I can understand your logic in first going for the parts that you feel will yield the best results.
Max power with stock GT cam?

Don't get rid of the cat back! You will lose ALL OF YOUR LOW END GRUNT! You need the back pressure! You'll have to idle at like 850 RPMS! It will stall at all the red lights, you won't be able to drive the car on the street!

The cats provide all the back pressure you need.

Maybe I can shed some light on this subject this summer. I am going to run my stock cam with Thumper ported GT40P's with 1.7 RR's and a Trickflow street intake. I have a 70 mm throttle body, 80 mm MAF, underdrive pullies with no smog or A/C. Exhaust is BBK shorties with off road X and dumped flows. I know it isnt AFR heads and Track heat intake, but it should make half decent power. My plan is to bolt on a Vortech blower maybe next winter, and I hear the stock cam is decent for boost, so Im going to save some cash and try it out. I want to dyno it before and after the blower, so I will be able to post up a dyno sheet for proof of my combo with a stock cam. Problem is that it will take a couple months for me to get it all bolted up and running.
Edit: Maybe I should elaborate on the heads. Mike is upgrading the exhaust valves to the bigger GT40 valves, and replacing them all with stainless steel under cut valves with a 5 angle job. Im looking forward to seeing the finished product, and seeing how much of a kick in the pants it will be still using the stock cam.

He might be confusing Real Street with Trophy Stock. I don't even think they have Trophy Stock anymore though. Real Street cars obviously aren't limited to stock cams. Trophy Stock cars suposedly have stock cams. In reality, they are just limited to stock on the absolute dimensions on the cam shaft. Competitive in Trophy Stock is mid 11s. I know it became one of the most expensive classes to be competitive in. Probably why I don't see them run that class anymore. What's the point if you have to spend all kinds of money, and still have an 11 second car?

Yup I sure am, in PDX. Take your time though as it is your project. We are all interested obviously, but no rush.
Well I have it all together and Ive been waiting 2 weeks for a guy to send me a chip from South Carolina to Iowa. He keeps needing one extra piece of info over and over again and the process is getting drug out... The chip is the same brand as my dyno tuner, so my plan is to run it this summer (assuming the tune is pretty close), and dyno it in late August or so. I have a rather odd situation at work happening right now where I am only getting paid out a 1/4 of my $12K commission from last quarter, and I just had to replace my original 1981HVAC system at home. That all means that dyno money is non existent right at the moment. If I actually get to collect the extra $9K sometime soon, then the dyno will be the first place Im going. Trust me, I want to see just where the stock cam will put my combo power wise, but I just have to wait until things fall into place better.
