Default New Setup Advice

Hey guys this football betting season has been kind to me(so far) so its time to do some upgrades to the WS6(02). It is not my daily driver and it may see the track once or twice so this will be strictly a street setup. I do live in Houston so when I do get it out I am usually in some kind of traffic so I need it to have decent drivability. I have been looking around for quite awhile reading about different setups and I think I am going to go with the PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 heads and the Torquer V3 cam(112 or 113lsa). As of right now I just have pacesetters, tsp y, magnaflow catback, and lid. Just the usual stuff. Does this sound like a good setup? I will be getting a tune after it is all on the car. I will also be putting a Yank SS3600 in at the same time. Who in Houston, or nearby, would best be able to tune this setup? I would appreciate and am open to any suggestions or comments about the setup or a shop. Thanks.

Kevin

If your driving in alot of trafic You may want to give up some hp and go with something like the torquer V2 on a 114lsa. Texas speed will help you too on a converter choice to match their cam.
