Default Will it Blow!?!?!?!

so as many of you might know im swapping a Tr 224 on 114 or 112 lsa with 243 heads. ended up listening to you guys and got a set of new 918s (2 sets actually, 1 i got for 150, the other free, selling one of the two go check it out in classifieds) but now i have another question

im planning on making at least 400rwhp with this setup and a good tune, could this be possible? finally id like to throw nitrous on top of all that, so how big of shot can I go on th stock 98 bottom end? keep in mind that ill be having the heads, cam, ls6 intake, edlebrock LT and ORY hooker catback, Jasper TB and all the free mods you can think of... might also get ud pully.

also the car has about 120,000 miles. when it had about 108000 miles it was bone stock single owner. previos owner was this little old lady with a 6 speed ls1? go figure... she did all the maintenace through dealer and had everything documented, i even have the original window sticker (about $21,000 full option Z28) it ran 13.5 1/4 bone stock on kumho all season 235/45/16 on the rears with a 2.6 60ft lol goodtimes

point on all that is that the car has 120000 miles, still no sign of smoke and i change the oil every 3k miles and check it also. i dont know if it has any relevance to the predicament
