You won't have to switch out springs for the CTRs as long as the stock redline is maintained. I have had CTRs in mine with stock springs revving to 8200 for over 4 months. If you want to put in valve springs, snap on makes a tool that I can give you the part number for that will make removing the springs with the head on the car possible. It runs around $120 from snap-on.

Some better cams along with a freely flowing intake manifold and a good tune could easily get you into the 14's.

Hell yeah, I felt a difference. But mainly because I am boosted, installed a Skunk2 manifold the same day, and fully street tuned it. There will be a difference for sure (especially with a better flowing intake manifold like the Skunk2 you are looking at and a VAFC) and it should get you where you want to be 1/4 mile time wise.
