Default 5.3 LM Build for IROC

I have read several threads and thought I would drop my build plans and see what some of you think. I just dropped the block off to be vatted decked honed and generally ready for a build. Using stock crank. Plans are TSP224 @114 LSA PRC 2.5 5.3 ported heads. Ls7 lifters/cups. Stock rockers from LS1. Wiesco -.2cc fly cut 3.780 pistons. Edelbrock Proflo XT intake and their TB. Some ls swap shorty headers. Im looking for 400~ish wheel NA. I will be going procharged after I get the car up and running. Using Holley HP efi ecm and wiring harness to control everything. Will be in front of a T56 with 3.73's

Am I on point NA or will this not do it.

Cam choice is for a smooth idle. I want power but sound stock.

I don't want long tubes. I know I will net more power but for this combo I'm thinking a mid length and mandrel bent custom exhaust on the car. This will be a pro touring car.

Thanks for the input.

Admin if in wrong place my apologies.

Id guess around 370-380rwhp, and that cam is not going to have a smooth idle (or sound stock) in a 5.3
