I'm wondering about low end-mid range torque will be better with a .470 intake/exhaust lift 221* intake 218* exhaust cam compared to the stock cam and also for shorty headers or long tube headers. Which makes more low end torque.

Which style of motor? as to the headers, long tube headers will give you better low end but may not always fit your aplication, shorties are a comprimise.
