Motown 454

Hi I was going with a World Hardcore 454 SBC and a Keisler Viper 6 spd. in my 69 Camaro that I had the whole body re done. It has a Chris Alston Fab 9 ,mini tubs DSE frame connectors. But I changed directions now I'm going with an LSA and was wondering what to expect for horse power with my new set up. Here's what I have now.
Can some one give me an educated estimate on the power level I should expect with my LSA crate motor going in my Camaro
It will be a stock LSA accept for a V Max ported TB, a cold air kit, with a tune. It will also have a C&R heat exchanger with a Stewart EMP HX pump programmed by Lingenfelter for max flow. I hoping to put a decent sized tank for the Heat exchanger. The Exhaust I have is a set of ARH 1-7/8" long tube headers with a 3" Magnaflow exhaust. The trans is a 4l85 with a stall of 24-2800, going to a Ridetech 4 link with a Chassis Works Fab 9 with 350:1 posi. I'm a new to Ls motors and I'm trying to learn what I can from all your posts.

Thanks for any help you can give.
