Default what will this put down?

I am getting ready to finally do some motor work and I am curious what the parts I have accumulated will possibly put down when it is finished? I found some Holley systemmax heads, B303 cam, cobra intake that has been ported with a 3/8 phenolic spacer, 75mmTB, 73mm maf, new plugs, wires, coil, and a tune. I would like to get some headers as well and will probably go with BBK shortys to keep the clearance over the speed bumps at a max and I already have a dynomax side exhaust set up I need to get painted.

What do you guys think this will show at the wheels? How well will a new clutch and stock tranny hold up with this?

275rwhp/300rwtq and your stock transmission will be fine.

It should make for a nice street cruiser with plenty of power to beat most around.

250 at the wheels. Throw that bumpstick in the trash. There is another 30 hp waiting to get out. Your heads are are too good to be insulted by that cam.

You know, thats the one thing, I like our cam, but I can't help but wonder how it would perform with something other than the E303, I knew going into it that there were better cams, but didn't care because there would be no ptv issues, but I agree with the other guys, do it right the first time and you won't be asking yourself what it could make later on down the road after it's all together.
