Well one, I would look into a different transmission. Is there are particular reason why your going to be running a C6?

Get gears if you don't have them yet.

for auto, go c4. the extra weight and resistance fo the c6 is absolutely not worth the extra carrying capacity (which you wont even come close to with a cammed 302). look into PA (performance automatic). they offer good C4 packages.

don't bother with stock heads. throw some aluminum heads on it or at least gt-40's or gt-40 p's.

and yeah- go with a c4 instead of c6.
