You should be over 450 hp with those parts. Probably closer to 425-435hp at the wheels through a manual tranny.

I would ditch the LS2 intake manifold!! It is a big restriction of airflow. Going to a properly ported Fast will net you around 20 more Rwhp and with that cam You might get around 25 rwhp.
