Default 1997 GT (auto) With these mods and FI What would I be making?

Hey everyone, I am at another crossroads here. I have a few threads already talking about some of the big improvements I am doing to my car, but I may take it a step further and go with supercharging as well. Here is my list of mods , what would you think I would make after all of this is installed in my 97 GT automatic?

4.10's or 3.73's (already have 4.10s, i havent installed them yet)

Accubab 75mm Throttle Body and Plenum

Bullitt Suspension Kit (shocks, struts,springs, swaybars)

MM Rear Lower Control Arms

Nitto Tires

Holley Fuel Pump (already have)

BBK Fuel Pressure Regulator (already have)

Vortech Supercharger Package

X- pipe side exaust w/ flowmaster mufflers (already have)

BBK CAI already have

Around how much rwhp would i be making?

its hard to say you still running non PI heads and intake ? If you are switching to PI heads and intake would really help you a lot.

Thats true, if I did go the supercharged route I would do the full PI Swap Heads,Cams, Intake. I forgot to add in that even if I do not get the supercharger I plan on the PI cams and Intake.

Default Aftercooler

If you go with the Aftercooler model, you can make more power.

This sort of build pretty well maxes out the stock bottom end of the motor. You are probably over-building unless you rebuild the motor with forged pistons and rods.

With a stout bottom end, and street cams, you would be around 350hp+ at the rear wheels (above 430hp at the flywheel).

Of course then you're going to need to rework the tranny, and get a proper stall converter and J valve kit.

Suspension comes next, starting with rear lca's.
