Default 1985 C4 L98 700R4 Performance Recommendations

New to the engine building world and even newer to the C4 corvette world. I wanted to build the L98 to around 350rwhp while maintaining the the low end grunt of these cars. I want to ditch the TPI and go for something EFI like the Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 or the Aces Wild Card 2. Want to do heads, headers, cam, and EFI like mentioned before. Where it gets tricky for me is getting into what heads, roller rocker combo, cam and all those in's and out's. I need some good suggestions and/or a shopping list on those things to give me a good reference for research. Like I said, I want to keep the character of the car and have a nice cruiser with a little more get up and go. That being said, I also want the car to sound aggressive with a little more chop. I just don't really know where to start when it comes to that though, so anything helps. Thanks.
