Default assembling Performance plan looking for advice

Beginning to assemble performance mods. At the advice of my buddy Road Pilot to get all my parts together and do everything or at least big chunks of things all at once. I'd like to tell y'all what I currently have and what my plan is for some constructive criticism

my 98 460LE is NOT a daily driver its my toy engine is currently stock other Corsa Xtreme with Xpipe and vararam CAI, 160 stat. Plans in the future of Procharger.

I have a Z06 3:42 diff waiting to go in

Plan for 1st round performance mods

10" 3200 stall Torque Convertor
DTE Differential Brace

2nd round performance mods

Kooks 1 3/4 LT headers

LS6 intake

For cam I want as much lope as possible (just like everyone else I love the sound) but thinking the Comp Cams LSR 277LR HR13 Street Strip cam is probably the way to go.
If any of yall experts could give this plan a look and let me if I'm on the right track or not I'd appreciate it.

If you are really set on doing a procharger in the future, then I would really think long and hard about upgrading your trans while everything is out. With a cam and supercharger your stock 4l60e probably won't last too long.

I did the heads/cam/converter/diff/headers thing last year and if I could do it all over again I would have just gone supercharger from the start..After everything was said and done I spent close to 6 grand for it all, and I'm nowhere near the power level a supercharger would have gotten me...
