I got about 372 RWHP out of my 93 T/A with ported stock heads, hot cam, 9", SLP mids and most bolt ons. During the dyno runs the car had to be shifted at 6k because my springs were shot. I had them replaced, but never had the car dynoed again. I never raced the car after it was tuned on the dyno. Prior to the dyno tune and a few small mods the car ran 12.4s. With your setup I think you could run similar numbers, maybe better.

Sounds like a good plan. Best thing I would recommend after, is a good dyno tune. Good luck.
