I assume your intonation problems would be playing too high (sharp)? The stock barrel, as you may have seen in other threads on this bboard, are rather short for playing at 442. Looking in to a barrel (I prefer moennig) that's 66-67mm would give you a better shot at playing in tune.
Keeping in mind, the clarinet will only play in tune if you're able to hear the notes in tune.
The 5RV Lyre is a good mouthpiece. If it's the same one you've been using for 7 years and you're no longer happy with it (or feel something else would be better) start searching for a new mouthpiece. However, before you start ordering tons of mouthpieces, just try some new 5RV Lyres. They vary from mouthpiece to mouthpiece and you might find something that gives you a slightly better\different sound.
As mentioned above, it would be best to have a teacher to guide you a bit. Even though there are many knowledgeable people on this board, no one can guide you to the end product without hearing you or examining your current setup.
