what should i be making for power

ok i got a basically stock LO3 engine right now, which is like 170 or some rediculously low number of hp

what should i be making after i do the following mods to it ?

l98 cam
complete tpi system
tpi heads
headers
pullies
chip ?


the only mod teh car has now is straight exhaust, there is no muffler, on a cat.

so what should i expect out of it after i do all of that

Since its basically a tpi 305 id guess at maybe 230 or so. Maybe more.

Well, with headers and a chip of whats otherwise now a stock TPI 305, I'd say around 250hp.
