Your parameters - stock bottom end,GT40's(or40x's), and a decent intake(at least a gt40/cobra style or a performer - keep it in the idle-6000 range)
This cam has proven its worth with quick acceleration, a broad torque curve and valvetrain stability(read as durability).Concentrate more on valve seat timing(creating cylinder pressure,which equals torque and better acceleration rate). Need to keep duration mild for low end and mid range throttle response to keep it FUN to drive while coming out of the corners in the twists and turns.
Erson has a well proven cam similar to the Steeda #19 in my car.
ERSON # E212837 2300-5800 rpm range 218' int/ 226' exh. 110' LSA /.544 lift.
allows you to turn 6000-6200 with no issue,while keeping good low end torque . Responsive and hard charging is the way this cam runs. I have three customers with this cam, and it does what it sounds like you are looking for.

if you are not looking for big power now and not planning on racing why spend all that money on 31-spline axles and a new trac-loc? just run the stock 28-spline and have the trac-loc rebuilt. it will save you a lot of money. just get the trac-loc rebuilt when getting the gears installed. the 28-splines will hold up just fine!
honestly all you really need is gears, some suspension work, sub frames, short shifter, exhaust and some timing adjustments and you will be more than happy for now.
thats what i did when i bought my car then 2 years later i built the motor up some.
oh and btw those of you who say nitrous is inexpensive its really not. i got my kit used from adder and have since bought several accessories that i needed (bottle gauge, blow down tube, automatic bottle heater, fittings) prob about $600 deep. plus its $50 a fill up.

seriously though, stop dinking around with these wannabe know-it-alls and sit down with me some time. I'll show you the good, bad and ugly. and how you can make reliable power out of your car, for short money
