Rocker Arms and Cam?

I recently decided I'm not going to bother putting alot of work into my 305, but I'm looking into a new cam for some extra power. I heard an L98 cam would give alot of street-able power for not alot of money, but what other cams are good for a daily driver? Also, I'm not sure what Rocker Arms do for performance, would upgrading them make a difference?

Alot of people go with an LT1 cam. I picked one up once for 40 bucks. You can find deals on them all the time. Only thing is, your gonna need to do some tuning. Also while your in there you might as well change your intake manifold

While searching for edlebrock manifolds I came across a Holley Stealth intake, looks interesting. The edlebrock intakes are looking too expensive, starting at $400-$700, I'm not really looking to go that high.
