What kind of power with this setup?

My 1992 Firebird recently died on me at a friends house(friggin remanufactured alternator!). Luckily, I was at the friend's house who just built a 355 small-block for his truck and knows motors better than anybody I know. He told me he would fix my car for me(I could do it myself, but I have a bunch of tests coming up this week), so I took him up on the offer. Here is the stuff he is doing:

Accel Race-wires 8.8mm
AC Delco Rapidfires
Hooker Competition shorty headers
Custom y-pipe
Exhaust cutout
Straight pipe in place of the cat

It already has an Accel cap and rotor, underdrive pulleys, and a 360 Weiand aircleaner on it.

What kind of power would you guys expect this to make on a stock 92 305 TBI provided that it is in perfect tune(which mine will be) and that the motor isn't tired(which mine isn't)?
