9000 Aero stage 3...performance cams?

I have a few questions about adding performance cams to my car. Its a 1995 9000 aero 5sp with an open intake and exhaust and the SQR stage 3 ECU (about 280hp).
1. Would I experience any valve floating up to 5500rpms with the stock springs/valves? On websites the valves are recommended but not required.
2. Would there be much power to gain under 5500rpms from the cams since I dont have '350hp'? Some of the websites say "for 350-400hp cars", but I dont see how it could hurt even a stock Aero.
A few things to add...I dont want to stretch the redline. 5000rpms is good enough, I try to keep the wear and tear minimal. I am currently replacing the headgasket so that is why I'm wondering about cams right now. BUT I've read that the intercooler may be a better investment. I understand that cooler air=denser air, but it also makes sense that better cam=more air into the cylinders. Any input is appreciated
