I'd like to know the specs for that car and you're new expectations for when it's done. I smell a trend...

on the dyno, i was pushing 242.0hp at 15psi with ALL stock internals except for the head spacer I used to lower my compression. My car stock was doing 118hp so you can see a huge leap in power.
The difference with this setup now is this:
FORGED Pistons
Completely Ported and Polished head, including polished valves, ported intake, and ported exhaust (both oversized and gasket matched).
With this, i know a person who ported there head on the tiburon (same specs as mine) and gained over 35-40hp alone with the port job. I spent over 900US dollars on the porting/polishing because i was looking for a quality job on the head.

Seriously, that sounds like an awesome set-up,
just shy of 300 or so?
