B-Man I have the original PG in right now. I don't know if I'm keeping that or going with a TH400. The torque conv. I'm thinking about a 2500 rpm. I have to double check but I think the rear is a 4:10 pos.

I know the tranny is going to depend how I'm going to run the car. Daily driver or performance. Well, the car isn't going to be a daily driver. It will mostly be a weekend car or something to go out and race around the streets on weekend nights. I hate that i only have 2 gears with with the PG, but i know it's better for racing. So I'm up in the air with that.
I would wait until you finalize the drivetrain before choosing a cam. Same goes for the engine, figure out what heads you're going to run first. No doubt that you'll definitely need some port work done or some better aluminum heads to achieve your horsepower goal.

I would get your heads done by SD Performance. Dave at SD can either port your current heads or sell you some aluminum heads to get where you want to be, and I would highly recommend that you let him pick the cam to go with the heads and everything else.
