Estimate my HP?

Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect? A new shop is opening up here by Austin and they are having a grand opening/ dyno day. Two pulls for $40, figured why not. My current mods:
MTI lid/K&N filter, ASP Underdrive pulley, Hypertech PP3, Borla Catback, hollowed cats, throttle body bypass mod, EGR mod, SS Ram air hood, Yank pt 4000, Full built 4L60E, B&M Tranny Cooler.( I know the stall/tranny/cooler isnt affecting my hp.) Not really expecting huge numbers or anything, just dont want to be embarrased by expecting too much. What do yall think for flywheel/rear wheel power? Thanks for the help guys!

a little over 300 at the wheels would be my guess....but i'm a bad guesser! go with low expectations so you wont be disappointed!! being an automatic, you have a little more drivetrain power loss than us 6 speed guys. probably lose about 15-18% thru the trans/rear end. have you been to the track?

320 to 330 would be my guess.... w/ a 4000 stall you are losing some power alog w/ the other drive train loss

On another note, as bad as a newbie as this makes me sound, what is the difference between being locked up and unlocked on the dyno and which is better. How do I lock it up and vice versa? Sorry for being a dumbass.
