I was originally going to build an engine, but realized I just don't have the time or the proper guaging equipment to build an engine like GM could. Plus, this one has a warranty with it.
My work is also gonna let me borrow the cherry picker we have, so I can do this bad boy at home next weekend!
I'm really excited. It's also getting some tires. Check out my post in the tire section for info on that!

But it should still be nice and quick.

I really want it to have a nice lopey sound to it, since I'm running a fairly unrestricted exhaust, and I want to have a nice sound. Will this give me that?

Very mild, not much larger than stock. At idle you'll have a little put put but nothing that you're lookin for for sound unfortunately

I thought about upgrading the cam, but the price would jump quite a bit, and if I did it myself, it would void my warranty with GM. Can't do that.

The duration on the cam is 222°
If you went with a 1.6 ratio the valve lift would be .480/.491
Most cams with that much lift have a duration around 290° which you will not have.
So changing the rocker ratio will just essentially give you worse fuel mileage. Just leave your cam alone then and when the warranty is up or close to it do some tweakin
