Default Thought out setup

Okay this will be the first NA build I have done in a while and with my build I like to start them out very early and plan ahead as my previous nitrous setup took 5months and my turbo build took me 9. So as my drivetrain is being built to handle the new found power that I want to make I will start doing the research.

Goals for the car. Get as close to 450/450 as possible. Be street able and have the drivability to be a daily driver (it won't but I want to be able to). Also want to be able to drive it on long trips and in city driving with no issues. If the car makes 430/405 then okay but I don't want 470/415.

Car will be done in two stages
Full bolt ons
Head/cam swap

I am acquiring bolt ons now and currently have borla cat back exhaust and a VR-B2 Cai. Have purchased a FAST92 intake with ls2 TB.

With me wanting the tq to be close to the HP level, should I stick with 1 3/4 primaries. I am looking at the LG's and AR setups or go with Hinson 1 7/8s header setup?
Finishing the exhaust is my next step as well as a tune to see where the car is at.

The next part is where I have to do more research but I am leaning towards three cams.
The heads will be the AI 226cc on my 243s
Cam choices are tick SNS 2, FTI SSHT, Cam motion Titan IV

I would prefer an off the shelf cam, but I could go custom if I need to, to get where I wanna be.
