Best combo with These heads?

I have a set of 113 L98 corvette aluminium heads I am going to put on my 350. The 350 is a stock 78 four bolt engine. These are the same heads the ZZ4 crate has and it make 355hp and 405tq. Now I can't install a roller cam in my engine so I can't make the same combo as them. The heads are brand new and the guy I bought them from said I could have as much as .480 lift but the crates have more so I'm going to have them checked. But any ways with out dissasembling the bottom end what parts should I get to at least match the crate numbers. This is what I was thinking:
600 Edel carb (already own)\
Rpm airgap intake
230/230 .480/.480 hyd Comp cam
I would be willing to use a solid cam, I basically have to build something faster than my dads 68 GTO with a fresh 455.

youre gonna want a bigger cam than that. And i hope youre ready to do some port work to those heads. IF that GTO has ANY upgrades in cam, heads, etc. youve got a lofty goal.

What does it run under the hood, other than a 455. i mean, what mods, if any?
