Intake is dependent on the cylinder head mach numbers for volume filling velocity off boost then valve size/port flow under induction. Better exhaust will be the best gain per $$$, unless you have a turbo and manifold laying around already.
So...this is why peeps swap 5sfe's for 3sgte's.

+1 on the cams there might be a couple of hp gain if the factory cams was a bad design but overall it just moves the horsepower &torque curve up,the more aggressive the cams the less low-end drivability you will have,plus a higher idle,allot of people think it there's a true hp gain when you buys cams but the truth is your low end is robbed so you can have a better high-end on the dyno,a true hp gain is a gain all around the rpm.same thing with bolt ons
its just for efficiency,true hp is increasing displacement, compression, pressurizing the combustion chamber which is turbo or supercharging.
