What kinda hp/tq gains?

Well I have been going back and forth about spending some of the money I have been sitting on for a while. I want to be able to beat a decent number of cars around here, but also want to be able to use the car as a daily driver(100 miles/week). Now I am already have the Loudmouth exh., CAI, 1LE elbow and an airfoil. I am ordering SLP's 1-3/4" coated headers w/y-pipe and 3.42 gears so the basic bolt-ons will be done. Now I want to get the LT4 hotcam kit from Sam Taylor and have the heads port/poilshed and have a nice dyno tune. What kind of rwhp/rwtq would you expect from this setup? The last thing I will get is a stall converter to match the cam. Any info/suggestions would be appreciated.

you will be looking at close to 360ish rwhp (depending on the heads)
I also went with the hotcam lastyear but now I'm thinking of going bigger.

You could get away with a little more cam on a daily driver. Maybe the XE224/230 or the XE218/224 each would give a little more power with the hotcam. I know some people have managed to hit around 380RWHP with the 224/230.
