Default 351w Rebuild Ideas?

I am thinking about not stroking my '69 351w and going with the standard 3.50" stroke. I listed below the parts I plan to use. Do you guys see any areas for improvement or overkill? I decided maybe to stay with the standard stroke due to $$$ for a new crank. Will I be sorry for not stroking? What will I lose? I know torque is one thing. What about HP at lower RPM's? My goal is about 400 - 425 HP. Will I have to wind up to 6000 RPM to make this HP? I want a good street motor. I want the low-end torque and HP. hat about oil pumps? I have heard to use both high and standard volume pumps. Please help because this is my first engine rebuild. Thanks.
