Default My LS1 build...opinions?

I blew a head gasket and figured I would overhaul the h%^& out of the LS1 while I had it out. Im looking for opinions on future mods, and maybe even guesses on the hp it will make. Im getting it tuned on Jan 8 and I'll have it back on the road then. This is what I've got:

LS1 block bored to 3.904 with a 4.000 stroke for 383 ci
SCAT forged rotating assembly with CP Bullet pistons
Trick Flow 550 hp heads/cam pkg
Comp Cams hydraulic roller lifters
Melling high volume oil pump
FAST LSXr intake
FAST Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body
FAST 47 lb/hr ls2 injectors
FAST billet aluminum fuel rails
TSP 100mm MAF
Fast Toys 104mm air lid
Fast Toys Ram Air system
Monster stage 3 clutch kit
T56 stage 2 rebuild from thegearbox
PHAT header-back 3" exhaust
Spohn solid tubular motor mounts
Spohn polyurethane transmission mount
NGK 7IX spark plugs

If it isn't listed, then it's still stock. Let me know what y'all think!

Looks like a complete list there, maybe look into some ARP head bolts/studs if you haven't already if you plan on spray or FI. Other than that is looks to be a pretty solid list of parts, just make sure you get all the small stuff as your building it.
