How much power are you putting down?

I have not hit the dyno yet since converting to e85. However on a very mild 93 tune of only 15* timing and a mid 11's afr, it put down 287whp and 324lbs torque on a 3.0 pulley. That was also on a mustang dyno, so the numbers would have been higher if it were a dynojet. Now I'm on e85 and 18* timing and it feels like it picked up a good 10-15whp. I'm gonna drop to a 2.8 after winter and hit the dyno again. Hoping for 330-340whp.

Very nice, I'm hoping for the 300ish whp range when this build is done, without getting too far into heads.

Also wondering if there's a specific gasket kit that I should look into for this build, Gen V, Northstar with adapter (adapter doesn't have the gaskets on it). So basically I'll need every gasket from the heads up, L32 TB gasket and northstar gasket?

Couple of questions before bed that don't have to be answered this instance.

I'll be getting an L67, anything I should be especially worried about when looking for one?
Any parts that I may miss with this build that may not be bad to order ahead of time?
With mildly ported heads (mainly exhaust and intake runners, cleaning up cast) what size pulley should I expect to run?

Shouldn't be too difficult of a build, but I haven't dug into an engine before so this will be a first for me
