Default SBC build question

Hey guys im building a small block for my 87 Trans Am and i was wondering what kind of HP i will be making at the wheels. This will be my setup: 350 small block with a healthy Comp cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Holley 650 carb, Vortec heads modified for more lift (to accept my cam), hooker headers(probably mid or longtubes), flowmaster catback, !cat, !AIR, !AC, and shift kit(its an auto trans). i read an article where the magazine used vortec heads, my cam, and my intake and had 400hp at the motor, so i was wondering what i would have at the wheels with the other mods i have. Also, how much would i have if i added a cold air kit? Thanks alot in advance.

-Dave

Kinda hard to guess with no specs but the carb is small so it sounds like you are staying pretty mild.

You are looking at a possible 340 at the back tires thru an automatic.
