250hp is being EXTREMLY optimistic.

U will be in the lower 200's.

Until you do something about the heads, you won't see over the mid-low 200's. If you did just heads, you would be looking at high 200's and with a decent cam you would be putting down 300. You have everything else.

You could lose the 24lb injectors, they'll be more than you need at this point. Then, you could either keep the stock MAF, or pick up one for a 94-95 GT/Cobra. The 70mm throttlebody on a stock engine is also overkill, but that's a debate I want no part of, so if you already have it, keep it, it won't do any harm. I'd bet with those mods, you'd see 220-230 HP tops at the wheels.

Dont tell the dyno guy you want to see 250, because he might make that happen and that wont tell you anything about your car. Im going to say 225-240 and with some DRs and good driving lower 13s!
