LT1?? farm animals?

I have a LT1 with a CAI and i was wondering if i put 3.73's, 3000 stall, Intake manifold, Throttle Bod, and Cam what number in power would i be looking at? Also with this in my car would i hurt anything or would i need to add more to compliment anything like new MAF or headers?

Save the money on the intake (assuming your talking about the edelbrock lt1 replacement) and spend it on header. The rest sounds like a good start. and don't worry about the new maf. Also i assume its an a4 for the 3.37's. With a tune you might put 320 rwhp or so depending on you cam and such. this should be a reliable setup and not hurt anything but thats on my definition of not abusing it.

You need to ask yourself what this car is going to be used for is it a dd, just a weekend toy, or track car. Sounds like weekend toy, I have the LT4 hotcam kit in my dd for years now, not bad on gas and decent on power it made 320rwhp untuned, but i would like a bit more. i think you might need to take a look at this link
