Default Thoughts on Building a High Torque (flat curve) Street 428?

As the title says, I want to build a reliable, pump-gas-slurping daily-driver-worthy 428 to put into a street Cobra. I'm looking for suggestions for how to proceed--cam, input, compression ratio, carb. The car will have headers with 2" under car exhaust.

Here are my initial thoughts:
Holley vacuum secondary 750 with electric choke
Blue Thunder Dual Plane 428CJ 4V H/R Manifold
Blue Thunder med riser OE cylinder heads
Cam??
Double roller timing chain
Stock crank
Pistons, rings, and rods?
Aviad or Canton oil pan and sump
Pentronix ignition
MSD
aluminum water pump

Thanks in advance,
AC
