Default L96 Questions

I just picked up a L96 6.0 with 116k miles that's going into a 1970 monte carlo. It came with no wiring or computer. I'm looking to build it up a little bit and just wondering what you guys would recommend. My goals with it would be N/A for now and possible future boost later on. So far I'm thinking intake and cam (with supporting mods). I've also seen a lot of recommendations for the trunion upgrade. Also what cam would you recommend that goes well with the VVT, I was thinking a BTR kit or TSP. The computer that I have been looking at is the holley dominator just for the ease of setup considering that my engine came with no wiring or anything. If I have to I'll also replace the lifters and timing set. And possibly while disassembled I'll might add ARP headstuds/rod bolts if necessary.

Off topic: I'm also looking for a transmission. I was looking at a FTI TH400, but I think with my rear (4.11s) the gearing might be a little high for street/strip.

Thanks in advance, and any advice is appreciated.
