Welcome to FTE!

I think a computer chip would be a good idea in the context of an overall performance modification plan. So the question I guess I intially have is, do you intend to do any other mods to the engine aside from the cams?

the newer intakes were composite instead of aluminum and have a removable throttle body. a throttle body from a 5.0 will bolt right up and give alot better throttle response.
