Default build help

Looking for advice on my upcoming build
I presently have a LS1 with ported Dart heads at 10.9cr and a 224/224 - 571/571 cam and all the mods. I'm running a P1SC1 at 10.5-11psi and making 702rwhp at 6100rpm. It's an A4 with 3500 stall

I am building a forged LS1 with 10.5cr with the Dart heads.

Goal - I want a streetable car that will spend 90% of it's time cruising including short trips, so I want great off idle torque and drivability. I also would like to get in the 800rwhp range.

Question - Will I see enough benefit to make it worth it if I swap to a FI cam (looking at something like the Jam Cam or something simular from Tick performance) or should I save the $$ and concentrate on updating the intercoolers or eventually swap to a D1 or F1 when $$ is available?

Thanks guys

Just need to know, from someone who's been there, done that, what kind of gains I would see from upgrading cams. If I'm only looking at 15-25 hp increase (for $800) would I be better off saving the money for a blower upgrade (P to D)
Was considering a cam because this is the time to upgrade while the block is on a stand. DON'T plan on going back and installing cam after this project is completed

I would definitely do a forced induction specific camshaft.
