You will not have a tremendous amount of power (relatively speaking) in that range because that's a very large cam for a 427....

Comparatively speaking, I did a 428 with a set of Edelbrock heads and a Tunnel Wedge with a 248° @ .050" solid cam and the horsepower peaked at 6500. Torque peaked at 5500. Adding a larger intake combined with a quite a bit more duration will make it a lot softer through the bottom end and mid-range.

IMO, for that 3000-6000 rpm range, the intake is too big, the cam is too big, and the carbs are too big.
