not a bad starters list 20 torque converter, 21 nitto dr's
those two would be excellent choices to add to your list. if not the verter atleast invest in some drag radials...speed and power is nothing without traction.

good list though you are doing your transam up right.

Honestly, it is a very good base ... but is not going to make you that much power.

You would probably hit 330-340ish rwhp given that setup.

However ... throw a converter and some gears in there (maybe even a cam) and you are all set.
