Default What should I dyno?

I've been an f-body enthusiast since I can remember but I've never been registered on any of the forums. I'm new to this whole post thing, so please bare with me.

I'm currently having my car built and I'm wondering what the car should dyno and more importantly, what numbers it should turn at the track. I'm on a budget so thats why I'm missing some things like an LS6 intake and ported throttle body. So what should this car turn out??? My mods are in my sig.

By the way, I know this thing won't really hook that great but I might get nitto's if it's a huge PITA. I'm more interested in trap speed but E.T.'s would be great.

I dont quite understand the point of having people guess your numbers,it means nothing.Take it to a dyno and find out .

Well, to clarify things for you, I'll obviously know my numbers when I dyno tune it but.... I'd like to get a few opinions now since there's no engine in my car yet. Besides I'd rather get a trap speed estimate anyway, since that does mean something. Get my point?
