opinions please about workability.

I have been talking to a few of you and researching what to do to my poor defunct Formula 350. I can't...er...won't part her out, so I figure I will do what every other proud thirdgen owner does....resurrect her.

I will be doing this in by the end of the year, so I have a little time to figure out what exactly is going on with the build. So in the interm, I would like your opinions on this setup.....

L98 Bottom with all new parts, stock crank, Hyper pistons. (done)
cc502 cam (done)
HSR
Fast Burn Heads with better springs and 1.6 rockers.
30# injectors and a AFPR from southbay.
Walbro fuel pump.
Headman headers (shorts) (got em already)
3" exhaust
TUNE

What stall speed do you recommend??? I was thinking 2800?
Built 700R4 from a local shop with Dana's parts.
3.42 gears, or keep the 3.73?

Stock WS6 suspension.

KYB GR2 shocks and struts (got them)

Subframe connectors, Torque Arm.

I must say that it will be a daily driven car that has lots of hard driving.
It needs to be mannered for EVERYDAY use in all weather. (except snow...I am in north GA) It may only see the strip once or twice to get my traps.

So....think this is decent? What do you estimate the HP/TQ might be?
Thank U.

Give it a little more time. It might just be that the people that have the expertise to help out have better things to do during the day than play on the Interwebz.
