That's a loaded question. My guess would be 330 to 370 HP depending on the tune and how the intake/headers matches the heads.

What type of transmission and rear are you using?

Good call on the Transgo kit. Talk to a speed shop to recommend the correct stall converter.

I would also think about a 3.55 or 3.73 gear as you are going to have a good HP to weight ratio that could support a higher speed gear in a quarter mile. If you are doing an 1/8 mile or 1000ft the 4:10 or 4:56 would be good options.
