Basic 318 Mods

My main goal is to have a car that has good throttle response and low to midrange torque, have the ability to get out of its own way and to have some stop light to stop light fun once in awhile. Idle quality is not a issue but to have a good torque cam means a smooth Idle, I wouldn't mind a little rumble at the pipes. From the research I've done looks like the engine will mainly be off Idle to like 4,500 - 4,800 rpm's. I may be wrong here but aren't most torque cams have a max duration at 0.050" of 204* / 216*?
