How much power...

Anybody have some ideas on how much power I should expect with this combination.....

96-00 Vortec block w/ flattops and valve reliefs
the infamous 113 heads with porting intake and polished exhausts
miniram on top with 58mm BBK tb
Hooker headers w/ dual 2 1/2" pipes w/ custom H-pipe stop short in front of axle
CC XR276HR-12 full kit
EGR delete, Smog Delete

I am hoping to reach my goal of 400HP at the flywheel, I think I can reach my goal. Any thoughts? Also is it worth keeping the vapor canister or should I ditch it also? Thanks.

What about the vapor canister? Think I should ditch this, read in an earlier post these thing stop working after about 10 years. Any other opinions out there?

Okay it is still in then. I think all this with a set of 1.52 CC full roller rockers should help me accel like no other, maybe a MSD ignition later down the line. Get me a custom burned chip or I think it was fastchips or superchips, cant remember atm. My t-5 is going to die a horrible death...

Okay, all this is about ready to be dropped into my 87, using an 89 superchip that i know wont work well but enough to start the beast, I will not have a cst switch or sensor so any other year is outta the question, still usin a MAF setup. The cold air intake is next for fabrication, anybody anticipate any problems with what my setup is going to be?
