Default my new setup, what do you think?

i am in the process of installing the following parts:
PRC stage 2.5 heads 2.04/1.575 valves
f13 cam 230/232 .595/.585 114 lsa
mac midlength headers w/ offroad y
those are the only motor mods im doing, so my question is what do you guys think i will put down HP wise?
how bad will the stock ls1 intake restrict this setup? i know at least a ls6 intake is needed but i ran outta money. also since the car has the stock bottom end and A4 tranny, shift points will be set at 6,000 RPM. also the car will have the stock fuel pump, how close is it to its limit? considering all these factors what should i expect in the horsepower department? im hopeing for 380RWHP, what do you guys think?

looks good! i would ditch the mac midlength headers and get some longtubes like pacesetters!! yeah the ls1 intake will restrict u on some power!! i would just go ahead and get an ls6 intake atleast. but a fast 90 would be better. also, do u have a torque converter?

i actuallay have an UD pulley but no money to buy the new belts i need, so if i dont sell it ill put it on when i get the money, i think the ls1 intake will make the cam peak lower to which wont be to bad since ill be shifting at 6,000 anyway, so really and ls6 isnt going to help as much as it would if i was spinning it to 6,800 which is where the cam is supposed to peak, so next stage of mods might be a fast intake with a built tranny and bottem end, but that will be a while.
