WAVERIDER2049

Hey everyone, this is my first post here as well as my first Corvette. I have a 2008 Z06 bone stock. I am taking it to my local shop that after I explained what I wanted came back with this:
-wcch fully cnc port ls7 heads / includes polish intake valves, stainless exhaust valves, mill and assemble w/bronze valve guides.
-katech torquer ls7 cam
-prc dual spring kit
-katech c5r timing chain
-gm head gasket
-arp head stud kit
-gm front timing cover gasket
-gm lifter guide tray
-gm balancer bolt
-gm front main seal
-160 degree thermostat
-arh 1 7/8 headers 3x3 x-pipe with high flow cats
-vararam cai
-b&b bullet exhaust.
-All Installed, tuned, dynoed

Now I have watched many videos of the katech torquer cam and i just don't like the monotonoeus sound it produces. I love the sound the lingenfelter gt19 produces. I do not want a big cam at all either. I also looked at the Livernois cams but it just doesn't seem that there small ones put out a lot of power. If I were to change to the gt19 cam, besides the springs that I would have to change to the ferrea springs they demand what else should I change? Is the WCCH heads better then the lingenfelter heads as lingenfelter does not use bronze guides but sintered iron? Any advise would be great as this shop pretty much does all its builds with Katech Cams and WCCH heads.

AND yes i spelled advice wrong and cannot figure out how to edit it. Sorry about that.

Lastly here is how it sounds after it's all said and done:

Pretty good list of parts in my opinion. Only things I'd change are the springs for BTR or PSI, depending on what cam you go with and I'd just get arp head bolts instead of studs. Also, if you are concerenced with long term durability you might want to find some harder powdered metal guides. Ferrea hollow valves might be worth considering too.
