Default About to do some major upgrades!!!!!!

I just got all my parts in for my 98GT. The car already had underdrive pulleys, O/F H/pipe with Flowmaster catback exhaust, and 3.73 gears in it. Here are the parts I am going to put in it. I have the Stage 1 ported 2001 Romeo heads with intake, .540X.540 lift cams, C&L inlet pipe with 80mm MAS, 75mm accufab plenum and Throttle body {polished beauty}, BBK 1 5/8" shorty headers, and after all that is installed a dyno and tune. Here is a chance for you guys to do some guess work and guess what type of HP I will be getting at the rear wheels. Once I have done all the work and had the dyno and tune, I will post the dyno results on here and let you know. Ricers beware, The hoof beat is about to crush you!!!

Hey that's cool you got all your stuff in. I just have a few questions. Are you staying NA or are you getting a blower or a turbo? I'm assuming NA by the cam specs. They look pretty mild. What brand are they? I would have went with more aggresive cams since you've got your heads ported. Also why do you need a larger MAF? I have no idea what your plans are for your car so that's why I'm asking.

Later down the line I am planning on going with the a Nos setup http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...NS/NOSzle.html

This just depends on how the car runs with the parts I am installing now, meaning horse power wise. Because the stock bottem end of the 4.6 is only rated for 400hp.
I got my heads and cams from here, http://powerheads.com/headswap.html
Stock lift for the 98GT cams were only .460 lift, so this is alittle bit bigger than what I had.

As for the MAS, I have seen better dyno results with the bigger 80mm sensor, and since I am running some mildly ported heads, I figured 70 or 75 might bottleneck my setup.
