Well he doesn't say what kind of car he has but going by his name I would guess its a Formula, which is lighter than a Trans Am. Also he has racing seats and he removed the back seat so that will help a little. As for your 1/4 mile time I would guess mid 13s, maybe low 13s with a good driver and some sticky tires.

I'll say between 290 and 300rwhp. Most hotcam and CC305 cars are dynoing 330ish, so I doubt you'll get far over 300rwhp with bolt-ons only.
The money spent on the TB would be better spent elsewhere. ~$300 for 5 hp isn't worth it IMO. Aftermarket MAF sensors are known to be somewhat problematic on LT1s too. I think you'll be better off spending the money that would've gone into those things on a set of 1.6RRs(proven 10-15rwhp) and/or an electric waterpump(another 10 or so rwhp) and saving up for a cam. My $.02

25 hp with headers and ypipe
0 hp with the MAF
2-3hp with the throttle body
2-3hp with the pullies
I'd say 290wrhp 310ft lbs torque with those current mods and a good tune on the computer if its a 6 speed. 280wrhp 300ft lbs of torque if its an auto.

just a thought..
any weight you removed by going to the cf hood and the lighter rims would be offset by the fact that you have things like SFC and STB...those things are heavy!!
so the weight advantage isn't as big as you may think...
i would say you should put down about 300-310 hp...
and i take it you don't realize there is a 5 line max rule for signatures...yours is like 15 lines...shorten it...i don't care what number your mods are...
