Well this is my combo when its all said and done:

Trick flow street heat
1.7 rr's already
Thumper heads
fms 65mm
Cobra 70mm MAF
full exhaust
190lph holley fuel pump

I was hoping for 270 rwhp, Do you think that this is wishful thinking? This is my dailey driver and I did not want to go with huge parts. IE, aluminum heads and another Cam. I'm going for the sleeper look and sound. If by some chance when my combo is done I'm not satisfied with the performance I'm thrown a Vortech on there. Anyways where will I be when the combo is done?
 
I think if you've got good headers on there, and Thumper's heads are as nice as i hear, and with a GOOD tune, you could at least make that at the flywheel, maybe a little less at the wheels. I think you should get a mild cam and a custom chip, then you'll make that at the wheels easy.
