Default Does this set-up sound OK?

Ok i decided to go with a set of Cast iron GT40's a cobra intake a set of 1.7 roller rockers and use the stock cam....Im going to be converting to MAF and i think the MAF is an 80 mm or maybe its a 70mm not sure...im also using new 24# injs...with a new areomotive fuel pressure regulator...Im also going to be using a powepipe to help up the boost...the car now makes 6 psi...what type of HP should this make...what type of times can i get ...will it be possible for me to get into the 12's with this combo....Also im going to be installing at a later date when money is there...a set of 3.73's and a 2400 stall speed convertor...any advice or info would be great thanks...oh yeah i might need to up the fuel pump too welll i know i have too....lol...so add that to the list also....

the set up will work for you ,it probably will 300-310 @ wheels

get into the 12's ......

not before gears & convertor.....

Heres an FYI......

NHRA
A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49

Yeah i know the rules about the roll bar it will have to go in for sure...subframes will be done before it even moves out of there......I might go with a more aggresive torque convertor then such as a 9.5 inch maybe a 3000-3200 stall with 3.73's i would like to see this into the 12's .....I hope anyways....the car is going to have a little weight removed such as all the A/C and all the smog stuff...i mean everything A/C will be removed...even the condensor..i dont know how much weight that is...the 4 cats will be replaced by an off road h-pipe so thats some weight too....i hope for 12's lol....

Do you have any suspension work?
More HP means you'll need better traction. I can barely get my tires to hook and I'm almost stock.
Get you a set of drag radials while your at it...
