Question tsp heads/cam

newb question. spun a bearing in my t/a. so been wanting to put in a cam n heads so figured now is the best time to do it. my car will be a DD for bout half the year. already have lid, pacesetter lt, ory, n flowmaster exhaust(eventually switching to borla). anyways looking at the tsp stage 2.5 5.3l heads with the 228r cam. package w/ ported ls6 oil pump and timing chain. looking for round 400rw hp when all said n done. probly be adding ported t/b and ls6 intake eventually. can i reach this goal with this package and once tuned will it be a decent dd?

I had a buddy who had that cam and it ran pretty good. Made 418rwhp with stage 1 ls6 heads. I have the stage 2.5 5.3 heads and when I had the Tv.2 I made 435rwhp. Mine is a daily driver also.

I've already got a bid from TSP for all the stuff I want, same cam and heads. If you're rebuilding, then you might as well replace lifters and lifter trays too.
