Default LQ4 Build need help

I've got a 03 Express 3500 with a 6.0 LQ4, I'm putting this into a 77 nova. It's going to be a weekend driver and need help with getting the right parts. I'm going to run 4.10 or 4.11 rear gears with a 3000 stall. I want a cam that sounds radical and want low-end torque. Also don't want to replace the valvesprings any more than I need to. My trans is a 4l80e. At some point I plan on turboing this engine, nothing major so if there's a cam option for N/A and boosted then I'd love to save from buying another cam later on. Thanks!
