UGGGG!!!
Matt, LISTEN TO ME!!! Your getting ahead of yourself again! READ UP FIRST. What do you want, just to say you have 400HP? Can you tell me why the Action Plus is the right intake for your engine?
To answer your question, you are only partially right, but not 100%
For the most part a smog motor is nothing more then a standard short block, flat top piston motor, with a cam designed to reduce emmisions and heads with big chambers to reduce compression, this would relate to a carbed or TBI motor.
In the late 80s with fuel injection and TPI the builders were able to better control the Air/Fuel ratios so heads with smaller chambers could be used to increase compression and gain HP, but these heads still retained smaller valves and ports then an aftermarket/high performance head.
Putting in a cam and intake will only give you some gains, if you want real gains you'll need to look at the entire engine, and again you need to decide first what you want to end up with before you can begin

Let's start over. What do you want your car to do? Street cruiser/ occasional strip. Street/strip 50/50 Strip with occasional street?
AND WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO DO WITH THE CAR???
