Default Na build for low end torque?

I'm looking to build an engine that wil give me the best midrange. Coming out of corners my A4 ends up around 3500 so I need good low end too. So far this is what I have...

Some Intake???
Fast 90mm & Throttle body Do I need the 90 or keep the stock with 75
AFR 205s
LG Long Tubes with Cats
Electric Water pump
Underdrive pulleys
Cam??
Since its and auto
220/224 581.581 115lsa

It's already a 90mm TB, right? I used the FAST 90mm intake with very good results

For the low end I would recommend gears. I would advise talking with those who will be competing in a similar race style for the best ratio.

Take a look at this build, where we started with a new LS2 block, and built the engine up from there. This build was with low end torque as the main consideration. Bob

We recently completed a 402 with Trick Flow 215 heads and a small cam that was making 380rwtq (Mustang Dyno'd) at 2500rpm in a A6 2006 Vette.

I wouldn't go too aggressive with the cam.

Shoot me a PM and I can go through the options with you.
