What you get to the rear wheels should be more HP
What you should get on the EST on the 1/4 time is a quicker time
Might think about lower gears if your driving habits would let you,
a good tune is money well spent also. Sounds like you starting in the right direction.

Ok maybe I can help a little,last month I had 3.73 gears and vig 2800 high stall converter put in. I already had long tubes and Halltech intake. DTE did the gear install and dyno tune. I put down 330rwhp 347 foot pounds torque. I haven't put it on the track yet, but is an all new car. You will love it, the gears make such a difference
