Question Question about engine set up

I have a 2000 Camaro SS Convertible (6 speed) with approx. 43,000 miles. What would a set up of Patriot Stage 2 heads, cam - 224 114, pacesetter headers with emissions y pipe, flowmaster cat back system, ls6 intake, bigger throttle body with slp maf, and a better tune give as far as horsepower? I know its very general but I'm only looking to get an approximate horsepower rating for something like this.

Would this set up need bigger injectors, if so, which ones?

First off dont go with flowmaster - there are better flowing catbacks/duals out there.

My best guess with that setup would be around 410rwhp or so.

Why bother with a catted y-pipe? It won't smog in Cali anyway, just keep your stock manifolds and y-pipe to swap on for the smog. You'll be around 390-410 at the wheels.

400RWHP sounds about right on a 6 speed

Thanks, what would help me get to 450 rwh, and still be street legal?
