Upgrades: M1 intake and/or headers

Ok, well, I figured since I'm dropping about $500 or so in getting my Dakota fixed, figured I'd spend a bit on something that would actually make it go faster :-) Electric fan was a though, but for $200 or so, and the possibility of not enough cooling turned me away (for now anyway).. So, now my thoughts are more along an M1 intake and/or headers. Am I correct in thinking that the M1 intake is the one of choice for a 5.2? I think JBA headers are the choice as well? Wondering where good place to buy each would be (besides ebay, will check there too though) or suggestions on a better upgrade for my current setup.. Also, about what would I expect from each in the HP/TQ catagories? Thanks... Here's the good stuff now :-)

97 CC SLT 2wd 5.2L
MODS: Quick-D intake, F&B 50mm TB, Mopar PCM, Gibson Exhaust, Catsound Cat Converter, IAT adjuster, Accel Ignition System, JBA 9mm? wires

Edging closer and closer to 14's, hoping maybe headers/intake might get me there. Ran a best of 15.8 with the Quick-D, Hypertech PCM & Gibson (also had strong head wind, so I probably run a 15.5-15.6). Course, that was completely street form too... weighed in at 4,380lbs, subwoofers, spare tire and all.
