Default Help with cam selection

I am working on a 98 LS1 that cracked a ring. I am rebuilding it back to its original form just better internals. Forged Pistons and Forged Rods. I ordered a set of Dart 205 heads. I am wanting to put down 430-450RWHP. Is this possible while keeping the driveability in an A4 car? If so what is your opinion on camshaft for the car. I am willing to do a little stall if it means I can make more power.

How is the driveability on your setup?

If you haven't already bought the rotating assy, I'd think about going with a 383 stroker kit. The torque characteristics of this setup with about a G5X-2 cam should work real well with an automatic.
