Default LT1 383 Build

So I've been saving parts for a long time and am finally starting to out things together. What do you guys/gals think my build put out.

1997
M6
383 Scat crank, Callie's compstar 6" Rods, Mahle 30 over pistons.
TEA 205cc LT4 heads
Ported LT4 intake
58mm TPIS throttle body
60lb siemens(those are for something special down the road)
1.6 rockers
231/239 112 LSA
EWP
Kooks Long tubes
11.51:1 compression

I think that's the basics(going off my memory). So what do you guys think I'll throw down on the dyno and how much trouble am I going to get into on the street??

Sounds like a nice combo...I dunno, my guess is 430rwhp. You will need DR's even for the street, trust me on this, or you will just be sending smoke signals Why the huge injectors? Get a stout clutch!

I'm debating a spec stage 2 or Stage 3 clutch. I would just get the stage 3 but I'm not sure how the puck style will fair on the street.
Smoke signals should benefit when the police light me up. Kind of like a magicians disappearing act. Ha ha
The injectors are for a secret go fast ingredient. For when I want to go a tid bit faster.

Go big on the clutch, especially with this "secret ingredient" you speak of I like the Zoom kevlar clutch in mine, not bad at all on the street, and it's good for 700HP

I'll have to check out that zoom. I currently have a zoom Kevlar but I was thinking it was only good to 400. Maybe I'm wrong on it being the Kevlar one but I did like it a lot.

^That's the one....the HP rating used to be listed on Summit's site. Not anymore It was advertised at 700hp capable when I bought one a couple years ago, it chattered a bit the first 500 miles, but it's easy to drive now it's broken in and GRIPS with DR's and over 400rwtq in my 383 setup with 4.10's.
