I just bought my first Chevy and was hoping that you guys could help me guage the power of this car - bare with me as I attempt to identify all that has been done to this car to better assist your comments:

454 Block, bored to a 472 or 473 c.i.
Steel crank
Keith Black Pistons 9.5:1 compression
Ceramic (look like 3/4 length) headers
3" dual exhaust to 3-chamber flowmasters
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
Edelbrock Performer RPM heads
Edelbrock carb (size unknown)
Roller timing chain
Roller rockers
K&N filter
MSD Pro Billet distributor
MSD Coil and 6AL ignition
Ultradyne Camshaft
Specs of Cam - Duration @.5 231 intake, 239 exh.
Lobe lift - .3233 in, .3383 exh.
lobe separation - 110*
seat duration at .0045 288 in, 296 exh.
gross valve lift .550 in, .575 exh.
degree intake lobe to 104* ATDC

What gear should this set up run in the 12 bolt?

Also, what timing should this car be set at for optimal performance? I may be forgetting some items on or inside the engine. What are your guys' best bet on horsepower? Thanks for the help.
