Likely, the answer was #3. Ended up with 370 WHP/362 torque in the end, which is right where it should be. Some more research yielded some mild cam cars that havent even broken 400 WHP, so I didnt feel bad.
Butt dyno approves of the tune - power band feels much smoother and responsive.

I guess the old mantra "there's no replacement for displacement" isn't really valid in this case...
Definitely lower numbers than I would have guessed. Then again your car weighs as much as Steve's cat.
