RCSB LQ4/80E swap... Take two

Nothing wrong with the current engine, but recently picked up a rebuilt LQ9 longblock. I am tossing around several ideas of how I want to approach the next round of mods. Basically have it narrowed down to a different cam than my current cam, head porting, 93 octane, possibly a 3000-ish stall.
I hate to be "that guy", but in the back of my mind I am chasing 400 rwhp & 400 rwtq... all while keeping it my daily driver and being able to tow.

Going to have my spare intake manifold ported. (Peak Speed Radical) I looked at the FAST LSxRT, but can't justify the cost - nor do I think my mild set up needs a 102mm TB. I am still on the fence about cylinder heads... I have a 68k mile set of 799s with the same spring kit I have now (BTR duals) + ti retainers. I know... I know... "706s are the best!" 
I am thinking of sending the 799s to AI for a performance rebuild - no porting, and to be milled .030". Going to install a 160 degree stat and switch from 87 to 93 as well. I would like to see a real 25-35 RWHP & RWTQ gain from everything.
Still need to install my spindles, tires, and have it aligned.
