How much HP u think?

I would like to add the following mods to my car in the sig, and am trying to figure out how much power I would have.
Here are the mods:

-Porting Plenum
-COmpcams 206/214 DUr@.05;.436/454 lift
-comp 1.5 roller rockers
-Edelbrock Headers
-Hooker Cat-back

Also, with this setup and 3.23 gears instead of the 2.73's, could I hit 13's u think?

I would think you would need 3:42s and a higher stall TC to hit 13s.

If i add March Underdrive Pulleys, and an ACcel Fuel Pressure Regulator, with a 1500 stall converter, then can I make 13's, and how much HP u think? Atleast 300?

You want to pick a TC that has a stall speed 500rpm below your peak torque rpm, I believe. I'm not really sure how much power you would be putting out, I'll let that for someone else to answer.

You can go slightly higher with your cam and while you're at it why not go for 1.6 rockers?

You won't need bigger injectors either.
