L59 questions

2002 5.3L L59 engine
vision motorworks 80mm throttle body (will this fit on the stock intake?)
Zo6 cam
LS7 high rev lifters
pacesetter longtubes pypes x pipe with cutouts and magnaflow mufflers
speedway motors TH350 to ls1 kit (th350 2300 stall and b&m shift kit)
tuned pcm

how much power should i expect from this combo(RWHP)?
will 2300 stall be enough for this cam?
should i get an LS6 intake/aftermarket or keep the truck intake for my 4dr 70 chevelle?
oh and how much nitrous can one of these things handle (about 100k mi)?

i don't know about nitrous, but i know of a certain fairmont with a junkyard 5.3 that is seeing 600+ hp with a turbo, over 150 drag runs, dyno pulls, and thousands of street miles, and it's not missing a beat.

Nice combo. However, knowing the price of gasoline, I'd opt for a built
4L60/65 trans for the OD.

The thing is about the l59 engine is the intake flows the same amount as the ls6 intake... it would be a wast of your money to buy one... if your going to buy a new intake i would buy a fast intake......
