how fast could this be?

383ci
750 cfm Holly 4bbl
Dart Iron Eagle heads, 200cc runners, 72 cc chambers (i think)
weiand stealth intake manifold
comp cams 282HR cam (.510, .520)
hooker competition headers
real dual exhaust (two 2 1/2in pipes, x pipe, louvered glasspacs, switching to perforated)
rebuilt 700r4 w/transgo shiftkit
stock rear(2.73 open, switching to 3.73 limited slip)

If you need any more info i will provide it, i would just like to know what the racing experts think of my setup and how fast it is(i would find out for myself but the strip in tulsa is under construction and won't be open again until late march) i know ya'll can't calculate HP either but I haven't been able to get to a dyno(even though it only costs $35), so how much approx. do ya'll think i got. also, how do you think this setup would do in autocross, after all the necessary suspension mods of course.

with that cubic inch,cam combo you will not really need 3.73s,3.23-3.42s would be more of a useable gear,bigger c.i. make more tq and require less gear unless with the 3.73s you plan on using a 28"tall racing tire.depending on driver skill that combo should be capable of 12.20s to 11.80s@sea level....

the heads will be your bottleneck. The iron eagles don't flow all that great. But, with a good tune, and gears, i would think you could get that into the mid 12's
