Default What should I expect & open to recommendations

Hi,

I'm dropping in an LT1 into the body of my 98 V6 Firebird.

With the LT1, I've got LT Headers, Hot Cam kit, electric water pump, high flow oil pump, Roller Timing Chain, and a tune from PCMforless.

From these mods what should I expect in Horsepower?

With the engine still out, do you guys recommend some other mods, keeping in mind this is my only car. I was thinking about Head work, put don't want to go over board, and not sure if the cost is justified.

Also anyone know of a place in Brooklyn, NY or nearby area (NJ?) where I could get the car on a dyno?

Thanks allot!
