Intake to let the manifold breathe better. Also the 2.4 throttle body.

Intake or header. Cams would be a bit much on a car with stock intake and exhaust. Besides once you get it tuned and you put intake and exhaust on you'll need to tune again.

The intake should be quick and simple, and help with the airflow.

If You Get The Cams It Wont Do Too Much Until You Get All Air Flow In And Out Faster Otherwise All Yoou Telamitries Will Unsync Them Selves
