Default mods for my future C6 MZ6

I want brutal trq from 1500-4000 and nice power up top to shift at stock shift point or slightly above.
I want a head/cam combo that will give me brutal torque from idle to about 4K.
the mods that are on a list waiting to order already are...
LG Pro Long Tubes w/ X-pipe no cats (stock mufflers)
Snake Charmer w/ TB spacer
ported TB
160 Stat
(would like about 390+/390+ with that)
then what ever heads and cam that will give killer low end yet still have a good topend pull
I dont mind a cam that you can hear, but I want to be able to jump in the car and go, not wait for surging, and I dont want bucking at low rpm.

would like to have 445+hp/420trq after H/C ??

idea's guys??

If you are looking for that SOTP feel have you considered gears?

Before I steped up to a big inch motor, my LS2 made461rwhp/435rwtq.
The heads and cam were; 215 ET heads, and 224/228/581/588/114LSA
Not a big cam by any means but made great torque, and torque talks the loudest on the street. Don't get hung up on top end power, because you don't live there. No one does on the street. If you're going to race the car at the track, then you'll have to make some compromises. You can't have it both ways, high top end power and low end grunt. So be careful selecting your cam. Good luck.
