Default Lq9 build

Would just like some input on my first ls build i have a lq4 block and crank stock ls floating pin rods and stock flat top pistons. Have 317 heads that i am porting and going to get milled .015" with comp cams 918 springs. stock intake and a tsp 224r cam. Will have a 4l80e trans with around 3k stall. I am swapping this in my obs ext cad 2wd. How much power do you think this setup will make? i do not have the pistons or the cam yet would you change anything. Plan to n/a.

If it was a smaller auto and good exhaust you would make 400 easy but with the big trans it is going to hold down the rwhp numbers a little. Should suprise on the street.

nothing wrong with 317 heads.
If money was no object, I would leave the engine simple, and turbo it

I mean what are your goals with the build man? are you going for a certain hp/tq number? track time? sound? it all depends on what you're looking for.

I want to get the most horsepower and torque with out changing much of the build. Track times dont mean anything. Would like a choppy idle.
