Which do you guys think would give me the best gains?
I am leaning heavily towards an intercooler but still undecided.

I'd go w/ the Heads/Cam package. They will improve flow and reduce kr. Just like adding the intercooler you'll be able to drop down in pulley size also.
But that will mess w/ your goal of 12's with stock cam.
Real life example. For the HPP shootout I was involved in there was a stock cam'd w/ intercooler and headers gp. He couldnt touch my times and I was running cam w/ no headers and no IC.

Yeah, I am interested to see how far I could push it, I am pretty close now to 12s it would be hard to give up :smile:.
The Stg2 cam/heads would cost about the same but isn't it ALOT more work to put new heads/cam on than just taking the blower off to put on an intercooler?

I'd say cam/head install would take longer. Dont forget though w/ an intercooler install you pretty much have to remove the front bumper to install heat exchanger.
My cam install took bout 12hrs, but well worth it and I wouldnt do it any other way.
