Heads/Cam/Intake/Stall etc should net you around 430rwhp. I would say that is very realistic goal.

There is much more depth into a setup like this, but the basic mentioned above should net you your expectations. I'm saying this due to you mentioning the adj. roller rockers. I believe the comp cams trunion upgrade will suffice for your power levels and should be more cost effective than adj, roller rockers. As well as the MAF upgrading, should just be just fine with the stock one at that level. Ask your tuner (You'll need to set some $$$ aside for a good dyno tune.) if he'd recommend ported MAF ends. That stall may be just on the small side, but I'm a manual car so continue to research this. (ask other auto guys) What size headers? 1 3/4 or 1 7/8? Cats or no Cats? Cat-back system? Stage 3 comp cam specs, are they compatible with your valvetrain?Just using those as an example to back up my statement of the research that still lies ahead of you. You're on the right track though. Good luck with your build.
