Default Lq9 build

I putting an lq9 into 69 camaro with a 6 speed and 9inch with 3.90 gears....I already have picked up and ls6 intake.....I would like to see 450hp/450tq to the wheels....Would a set of 243/799 heads with a cam and headers get me close to this and still be able to have good driveability or would i be money ahead to sell the ls6 intake and order a new set of l92s and get a ls3 intake...Car will be used for a cruiser but i would like to race it when i wanted to and have plenty of power.....any ideas or proven combos would be nice as i know this has been posted about a million times
