Wouldn't waste the money on the SLP MAF, tuner, or LS6 clutch. Get a good SD tune and ditch the MAF after the cam goes in, and pick up an LS7 clutch instead. The 102mm TB won't mount up to a LS1/LS6 intake - it uses a square 4-bolt design, rather than the 3-bolt design the LS1/LS6 intakes use.
Definitely going to need some suspension work, too, and hopefully the 3.90s are going in a 9", not the 10-bolt.

I would imagine 430rwhp with a good tune, could be more. I suck at hp guessing.
Suspension, I'd say LCAs, LCA relocs, and a torque arm, and a torque arm relocation crossmember would be a good idea, too. That's with a 9"...for a 10-bolt, you'll want as little traction as possible.

MAF on a stock setup is fine...why wouldn't you want to go with an SD tune, though, with what you're planning on doing? A handheld isn't going to do **** for that setup - some dyno time with a good speed shop tuner is a must.

I would just stick with your stock maf, throttle body and intake for now. The 102 is just too big for ya, I would just port your stock TB, get an underdrive pulley. Put the leftover $$$ into to a good dyno/street tune, you should be able to break the 400hp mark.

That said, I think there's more benefit to buying an LS6 and spending the rest on things like suspension and picking up a FAST when a cam goes in, than sticking a 102 on a stock-internals car.

102's been shown not to lose anything to the LS6 on bolt-on cars. Granted, it's not nearly as beneficial to those cars as it is H/C cars, but it makes more sense to buy one $1200 intake/TB that'll provide plenty of headroom, rather than buying a $350 LS6, then a $800 FAST 90 combo, then a $1200 102 combo, even given decent resale prices on the LS6 and FAST 90 stuff.

Element, you should look into a Tick MC as well for your new clutch/tranny, man those things are worth every penny. They just went on sale too for $299-

If you are looking for specific numbers base your car off of someone elses that make close to 400. Like most people said some of the parts you have listed are not worth the money

If you haven't bought all this stuff yet, sit down and rethink what you are doing. You can spend your money on a different setup and probably be happier in the end. Ditch the maf, tuner, and ls6 clutch. Put the 102 tb in a box and save it until you buy a 102 intake and heads. That cam is big! I would say bigger gears, better clutch, and a dyno tune.
