Default My first 4th gen what should i expect

Bought my first 4th gen with bolt ons. What specs numbers should i expect? And what should i do to it next?

Heres what the car currently has
6.0 Lq4 swap with gen 4 internals
Stock lq4 heads (for low compression to add turbo)
Melling oil pump
Walbro 450 fuel pump
Ls2 intake with ls2 throttlebody
4.11 gears
3200 stall converter
Texas speed 224r cam
Slp headers

I dont want to take it to the track until i upgrade the rear end since i heard the 10bolt is not very reliable past stock. I dont want a full blown race car just a fast sunday driver.

Your 10 bolt will do just fine behind a auto.
Im still running mine and do consistent 1.5x 60's

It sounds like you have a good start. The next step would be a turbo or supercharger. If you go turbo, you will need a new exhaust system too. Pro Charger makes a nice kit that doesn't require cutting and piecing the front end back together. It uses two intercoolers, so the front bumper doesn't have to come off. That's the kit I want.

I'd say if mostly street driven and not repeated burnouts with hard launches on sticky tires the 10 bolt is fine.
