1999 C5 Corvette automatic (LS1) — looking for cam recommendations.

Current parts (not installed yet) :
• Vararam intake
• 1 7/8" Speed Engineering long tube headers
• X-pipe
• Corsa Xtreme cat-back
• Supporting stuff (wires, O2 extensions, etc.)

Future plans:
• Centrifugal supercharger later (ProCharger/Vortech style), but not anytime soon
• Want a fast street car, reliable, and still fun to daily

Question:
What cam kit would you guys recommend? BTR? Texas Speed? Custom grind? Stage 1/2/etc?

Also should I do:
• LS7 lifters
• Trunnion upgrade
• Timing chain
• Oil pump
• Stall converter or keep stock?

Trying to do it once and not regret it later. Thanks!

Need opinions on my C5 build path before I start buying everything

I got a 1999 C5 Corvette LS1 and I’m trying to build it in parts instead of all at once so it’s more affordable it’s my daily for now so I want it to be somewhat reliable eventually I’ll get another car for my daily but I wanna build this into a somewhat of a beast but not so far it’s just a race car

1 :
Long tube headers, x-pipe, cat back, intake, tune, and probably better tires.

2:
Cam, springs, pushrods, trunnion upgrade, LS7 lifters, timing chain, oil pump, catch can, and another tune. Might do injectors here too.

3 eventually:
Centrifugal supercharger setup like a ProCharger or Vortech, upgraded fuel system, radiator/fans, and since it’s an auto I’d probably upgrade the transmission/converter at this stage so it can actually keep up with the power.

Also forgot to add I’m doing a bunch of stuff to it right now that’s all just purely to make it healthy for instance my ebcm is bad so I bought a new one and I’m having it installed shortly. I’m not very mechanically inclined I put this together with a bit of research so if someone doesn’t make sense that’s why
