Default gt40p build

I plan to get my short block rebuilt and do the top end on my engine with in the next month or two and have made a part list, I was wondering if this will meet my goals(280-300 rwhp)

gt40p heads
AFM N-41 Cam
Cobra intake
1.6 RR pedastal mount
70mm TB
75mm MAF
255 lph pump
24 lb/h injectors
adj FPR (is this necessary?)
O/R H pipe
FRpp shorties
flowmasters

And of course all the necessary parts, fresh short block ect...
This is going to be my first engine build or any big job for me, I just want a nice street set up won't really be racing it. Feel free to suggest different stuff.

I would guess closer to 250 at the wheels on a good day.

Don't do the adjustable fpr, completely unnecessary and then good luck getting it right.

I have a set of p heads. I know nothing about porting but, they sure do look like they could use it on the exhaust side. The ports are tiny.
