I watched an MS3 cam/header car put down about 388hp on the dyno this weekend. I'm sure you'll break 400hp. Only difference is the car I saw was on a 111LSA . I think the lower LSA is a much better choice.

jump up to a 110+2 lsa, having the lighter car you won't even notice it.

Not required as long as they're stock valves and not milled, but why would you be so willing to give up power by not milling?
