Default 400+ HP cam and converter setup

I'm looking to make 400 rwhp and as much torque as possible. I was thinking LS6 intake, TSP Torquer 2 cam, and Fuddle TC probbaly 4000 stall or whatever Fuddle reccomends. Just looking for everyones thoughts and opinions. Just really want 400 plus hp and go low 12's or better. What else do I need, short of heads, to make the power I'm looking for? current mods in sig
All info, opinions and help appreciated.
Thanks

Wow, looks like you have really been doing a lot of research on this
I'm sure there are hundreds of threads about how to reach 400hp...

Anyways, since I posted I might as well throw in my $.02
The Torquer 2 and all the bolt ons should get you 400hp and 12s with a 4000 stall. You may be able to go with a 3500-3800 though. However, if you don't plan on ever running a set of heads I would go with a bigger cam, you will always want more power. Maybe something in the 233/239 range or MS3/4 territory.

Thanks for the replies guys. I know I was lazy and just wanted some info without having to work for it. Right now its between Vig or a Fuddle 3600-3800 neighborhood. I don't know if I'm going cam or just doing some spray?
Anyway thanks again and any other input is welcome.

The MS4 isnt really considered a "big cam" you know.
