What kind of budget are you looking at being able to put into the car over the next 7 - 8 months? This will tell alot on what do recomend.
Basically stock? What all or should I say little do you have done???
How mechanically inclined or experienced with engines are you?
You can probally figure most of it out, you have time and good resorces (stangnet/corral/ect) to ask questions and get the right answers.

I wouldn't spend much for an intake to put on stock heads. If you could pick up something used for a bargain price, go for it.
As for the rockers: I've been shopping for a set of Cobra rockers on eBay and they've been going for $110-140 recently. A 1.7 rocker with your stock cam increases lift from .444" up to .472". I'm not sure how much improvement that would be in terms of TQ/HP. I'm a firm believer in the theory that you can never have too much lift. So long as the valves and pistons aren't getting too intimate
