List of upcoming mods...Thoughts? Guesses?

OK guys,
After some researching, this is the list of Modifications that I plan on going with for now. I (as many) have much larger plans and hope to get better products as funds become available, but I believe I can do most of these on a fairly tight budget.

-LS1 style intake system
-Aftermarket lid for the LS1 intake
-FTRA for the LS1 intake
-Ported 52mm TB
-Port-Matched TB air foil
-1.6 roller rockers
-Mild-Aggressive Cam (haven't made a decision yet though)
-Upgraded Valve springs
-Pacesetter Long Tubes
-Off road Y-pipe with dual cut-outs
-Underdrive pulley set
-3000+ stall Torque Converter
-Custom tuning

What kind of numbers may this list of mods produce on my car? What kind of times might I hope to see?

Thanks for the thoughts,
Ryan

What kind of times might that equate to?? I know when I had my LS1 with minimal bolt ons, that it was right at 326 RWHP and I was only running high 12s.

I would say it all depends on the cam you go with. Do you plan on porting the heads in the future?

It will depend on traction and weather conditions. Get those 2.2 60' times down and you should be able to run mid 12s.

When I do head work, I'll go with a fully ported set of AFRs, as well as probably a stroker kit, but that's a ways down the road. I was thinking of a cam with maybe a 220-230 duration and a .550-.570 lift. But I haven't made any final decisions yet.

Chicken-I was noticing your sig, and must say those are some great times with a bolt-on/cam-only car. I wanted to ask your opinion on your electric water pump. Would you say it was a worthwhile mod?

It is not too expensive or difficult to install and prolly gave me another 5-10rwhp so I would say so. Plus it decreases the chances of getting liquids on the opti.
