Default About how much hp am I pushing to the wheels and to the flywheel?

About how much hp to theflywheel and to the wheelsmy 895.0 will bepushing because I honestly have no clue? Im currently building everything right now!
Here is a list of all the major parts I didn't include little things like hardened pushrods, double roller timing chainetc.

Edelbrock Performer upper and lower intake
Ported and milled 70 DO0E 351w heads (better then Gt40)
Ford Racing X303 Cam
Pro-Form 1.6 Roller Rockers
70mm Throttle body
C&L 76mm Mass air meter with tube (calibrated)
24 pound injectors
70mm throttle body
Dual electric fans
Timing advanced to 14*
Underdrive pullies
JBA headers
Bassani offroad x pipe
Magnaflow Catback

Assuming everything is in perfect running condition and car is dyno tuned, how much hp would you estimate its putting out?The bottom has low miles on it and It has new plugs, wires, cap etc. and is a T5 with a aluminum driveshaft!

untuned 260's...I would find a better cam X is a high rpm unit not great on the street combined with the performer intake know as more of a mid range rpm intake you're a little miss matched on your parts. You also need to make sure your springs are good for the lift of the X and you have the PTV clearance required.

What would be a better intake for my cam? The heads, cam, and rockers were already another 5.0 that ran really strong so I think I should be fine on that the valve springsare pretty big

most places will do 2 pulls for less than 75$, im guessin after a good tune low 270s to the wheels, and I'm going to go +1 on the X cam being a little too much cam, you might want to select a different cam to better complement your current configuration
