Default Curious how much power should I expect?

Hey guy I'm just wondering what realistic power numbers I should expect with my build. As for the mods done to the car they are as follows,dum
•stock bottom end with 49k
•ls7 lifters
•slp 25% under drive pully
•stage 2 monster clutch with lightweight flywheel
•stainless works lt headers, off road y - pipe and a crapmaster catback. Collectors and y - pipe are 2.5" diameter into 3" catback
•ls6 intake
•42lb injectors
•ported ls6 oil pump
•slp lid/flowpack?
•243 heads TSP 5.3 2.5/bigger valves and cnc porting and polishing also milled to tsunami cam
•TSP Tsunami V2 235/240 .622/.615 111LSA
I have all other things needed for swap pushrods ect.. but I listed all the mods that make power, thank you in advance! Car is still in storage and boxes are starting to arrive just has me curious.

Please don't use those LS7 lifters. They only good if you rebuilding a motor back to factory specs!!

Anyway, is your car a automatic or a stick ?

On the lifters I recommend you run 5315 morels. Way better than LS7 lifters. I have seen too many guys get their cam ate by a failed LS7 lifter.

On to the power.....I'm go link to a build similar to yours but it's a automatic car. You should put more power out to the ground with the 6sp!

I see those lifters are like 200 which isn't bad at all, are they a different height ect.. where I will now need longer or shorter pushrods? I appreciate you pointing that out I see a lot of people have some issue with lifter tick ect.. using the ls7 on a bigger aggressive camshaft. And will I be able to use the lifter trays I assume not?

By you having your milled you might need to measure to get the correct pushrod length..... trust me you don't want no annoying lifter tick. I'm thinking right off you'll need a pushrod shorter than 7.400 by you having milled heads.
