Question Off the Shelf Set-up

I was just wondering what you guys think of the set-up I'm thinking about. I'm going to use some ported 853 heads, a CompCams XR275HR cam, all the CompCams valve train, and of course good Ol' Kooks Headers. I'm not trying to go extremely cheap but I don't have the cash to go all out at the moment. Tell me what you guys think. Thanks!

Also, What kind of power do you think it'll put down in my 00 T/A

Sorry...its a 6 speed. Yes I am planning on tuning. I've been told that I have to have a good tune no matter what. It's going to be mainly street use with some occasional strip use
