Post New everything LS1 build up

So I have great ambition to this engine and wish to know some variations as to what would be good and/or why it wouldn't be good. The goal is big power not big on top speed simply because I don't think in a practical sence that top speed in a normal setting is impressive nor fun its the ridiculous quick acceloration to a low top speed like 120 that I think is fun.This is what I wish to have(might I add this will be all new including block) LS1, 383 stroker, LS6 heads, LSX 102mm intake Naturally aspirated(sound preference). backed with a T56, and 4.10 gears. Maybe a little wet kit. Please dont state the obvious as to what I should do like bigger injectors, hotter coils and high volume oil pump that I get no problem. its the cam and I have not the slightess clue as to what I need to be looking for or just a custom cam. I wish for a rough idle and high rpm range. Plus I know for the rpm range I'm gonna need a good valve train. Not the slightess clue there either. I'd like to think of this as the LS1 owners dream engine. but I need to fill in the blank spots. I know I'm talking big money here and don't throw the LSX454,572 or LS3 at me either. LS1 is where I'm set at. please help. and explain technicalities please.

If your stuck on the LS1, go 383...Now my opinion, don't go smaller than 400 cubes. I would stroke a LS2

Considering the $$$$ you're probably going to shell out into that bad boy, might want a look at a used LS7 or even a nice used LS3. Hell, even some of the detuned LS9's (LSA 6.2) in the newer ZL1 have been on ebay for cheep. Might be a better option.
