Help Me Make More Power!

I just got my truck running and driving, and I am already tired of the lack of power. Truck has a 350 and a TH400, with 2000 RPM converter and 3:73 gears. So heres the winter plan-

Pull the motor back out (stock 350 with edelbrock performer cam, intake and carb)

Pop the pan and put in a better gasket

Re-ring

New cam (roller rockers etc....)

New intake

New carb (Blow Through?)

Heres where I need expert advice-

Picking a cam and intake. I want this to be a fun street motor, with as much power as possible. I love high RPM's, but realize that I need a lot of low end power to get the beast to move. What would be a good cam? Somehting with some thumpy idle preferred.... and how about a new intake? I love the look of the Edelbrock Victors, but are they not practical for street use? What would you recomend? And I am looking for a new carb, I want to eventually put a mild turbo setup on this rig and so a blow-through demon is on the menu. Any help or advice is much appreciated.
