NOOB could you point me in the right direction

I am a New to the Camaro's

I wanted advice on building my Car to perform to its best potential

I bought a 1995 z28 with a top end work and stock lower
six speed

IT has Elliot works LE1 ported heads
226/232 .578/.574 110 LSA. – 1900-6200 RPM Cam
1:6 rockers
Forged push rods
30lb injectors
Long tube headers-wrapped
Flowmaster full exhaust
KN cold air intake
Kevlar Clutch

IT was Dyno at Kennedy Dyno in western ny and it had notes on the Dyno sheet. Small oil leak and spark plug wires installed incorrectly

The car was running ****ty misfiring bogging down and choppy when I got it.
We sorted the wires out and it ran much better
But I still need to adjust the roller rockers because some are sloppy and some are too tight.


Basically my questions are
-What HP should I expect from this Build?
-Will my money be well spent taking it to my local dyno and having it retuned after I go and double check everything?
-Is weight savings my best next step in the process?
-Are sub frame connectors a waste of money on a car that is stock lower?
-What can I do to get good break performance for the track. The stock breaks are crap.

Everything depends on your budget and goals, except one thing: get the subframe connectors.

As far as HP... LT1 LE1 «
Tuning is key, if you can't DIY then yes, have it done after the plug wire repairs.
