You gotta just pick something and go for it lol I say just a cam tune and change the gears will be your best bet and so simple. No issues once its all tuned. And will be great to daily drive

The right way would be a good tranny and converter. RPM level 4 tranny and yank or Pro torque converter.

Then add a cam package, nitrous ect.

Isn't a converter always recommended when doing a cam? Personally I would probably do the converter first anyway for the SOTP difference, and get the built tranny at the same time so you're ready for more power.
