Sounds good. So what stall converter should i get. I dont want it to act like a drag car on the street. Thats my main concern i want it to be dirveable everyday. Having good street manners but a good stree/strip set up.
What cam size did you have in mind?

I was gonna get a custom grind but the more i look into it most people are just running a comp cam. i def like a rough idle just nothing too dramatic. i've tried to find some of the cams guys are running here on the forum with no luck. One i have seen in a lot of gto's and ls1 camaros is the Comp 224/230 114lsa. Would this be a good cam for my aplication?? I do have a big farm and use my truck to haul cattle and hay. I need good torque numbers along wtih the hp. Ill def sacrafice some hp for tq.

Sounds like your going to be hauling heavy and often. If that's the case, and I hate to say it... buy a duramax. Then you can have mutiple tunes so you can haul your cattle trailer around, then unhooking and turn a knob and unleash the beast! You said your willing to sacrifice HP for tq. How about 900 ftlbs with a stock Turbo and drive train? I think you will spend alot of time worried trying to tow heavy loads on hot days with the Turbo gasser. I'm no F I expert tho either.

Just get a custom spec cam to meet your turbo needs. That cam you listed is not a turbo friendly cam at all.

I would love to have a duramax. I still owe a pretty good deal on my truck and right now I'm in the process of building a house. Can't really afford a $550 truck payment. I've looked around ALOT trying to find good deals on a dmax. Best I can find is a like 28k and that's with a ton of miles on it. The stock Allison can't handle a good efi live tune. Another 4k on a tranny. I can build my truck and only have about 23k (that's including the price of the truck) I just rolled over on 54k. I know it's one of those things that could go either way... Am I really gonna have problems keeping it cool while hauling??
