Would like a prediction on my new set up.

Hey gang! I know my 90 Mustang has been the recipient of a 5.8 engine with a carburetor and it technically is not a 5.0 but I was wondering what everyone thinks my new set up will do. I will give you my original combo and then my new combo I am currently putting together. I would appreciate all your input as to what it will do.

1990 Hatch
3250 lbs with driver
4.30 gears
28X10.5 ET Drags
Promotion Performance Poweretrain Straight Cut Face Tooth 5spd tranny
FRPP Aluminum D Shaft
351 Cleveland bored .060 over
13 cc dish pistons for 9.8 to 1 compression and 91 octane pump gas
351 Cleveland 2V(2 barrel) heads that are ported 2.100 intake valve/1.650 exhaust valve 270cfm intake flow/200 exhaust flow 60 cc chambers
comp cams Flat solid cam 255@.050 intake with .659 lift/261@.050 exhaust with .669 lift, 109 lobe seperation on a 104 intake centerline
1 and 7/8 inch Heddman Hussler long tube headers
Parker Racing open plenum Funnel Web Intake
AED 750 HOM Holley carburetor
MSD Distributor and 6AL Blaster SS coil
K&N Extreme filter assembly
no power adder
Stock rods, crank and heavy pistons(KB148) Balanced rotating assembly

I am dropping my wieght to 3100 lbs with the addition of a complete UPR K member/coil over kit and new Aluminum heads(30 lbs lighter each) and I am upping the cubic inches to 393 witha .030 over bore on anothe Cleveland block with a Scat 3.85 stroke and 6 inch rods with Venolia 18cc dish pistons
new compresiion ratio with the 58 cc Blue Thunder Aluminum heads will be about 10.2 to 1
the heads will have 2.100 and 1.65 valves and ported will flow 380 cfm on the intake and 265 cfm on the exhaust
the new comp cam is a flat soilid with 260@.050 and .677 lift/ 266@.050 and .689 lift on the exhaust. 111 lobe seperation and 105 intake centerline
open plenum Ford Racing A351 intake
950 AED HP Holley carb
1 7/8 inch Heddman Husslers
and same ignition etc

I am gunning for the 9's on engine and will wrap this motor up to 7400 RPM with a 6000 to 6800 RPM launch

So I am asking, given my old combo is geared wrong(crossing the line @ 6300 RPM instead of 7100 RPM) and should run 10.60's or 70's . Where do all of you think my all motor street Stang will run with the new engine I have almost completed?

RE: Would like a prediction on my new set up.

Not a lot of guys on here with Cleveland engines.
I dunno myself but it seems that the new should have more HP than the old one so it may......
Let me know....
