Save up and do both. It's like asking peanut butter or jelly. A cam is only gonna cost you a couple hundred which is far less than heads. So if you have enough for heads. Save that money up for a cam and hit it all at once. Just my 2 cents. As far as what you will feel seat of the pants more probably the heads. Keep in mi d the engine being nothing more than am air pump, it will only move as much air as all the components collectively working together will allow

do them both at the same time.

you wont feel shit with heads and a stock cam and you wont feel shit with stock heads and a performance cam.

drive it as is until you got ALL your parts

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

Look in the for sale section here. E, B and TFS1 cams pop up all the time for $100 or less.
