What do you guys think this combo would make approximately.
any suggestions?

There are some that would say put on a 750 but that is based on 100% V.E.
I.M.O,it looks good.
I think you have a good 335-350 hp.
I would run a 3.55-3.73 gear and a 2,000 -2,200 stall to get it launch a little better.
I use to go to school with a girl named "Facemelter" but I'll bet they called her that for some other reason.
