Default 1980 Camaro396 Engine/Drivetrain questions

Hello everybody, I'm new to this site, new to hotrods, and have some questions.

I just purchased a 1980 Camaro. It has a 396 bored .06 over, and 427 heads. Turbo 350 tranny with a 2800 stall. Ford 9inch rearend and 4.11 gears with a positrac.

What are you guys' opinions on this setup, as far as street/stripability go?
Is this a good setup, should I change some things?
Car needs some wiring before it is ready to roll, and if I need to change some other things, i'm all ears and open to all feedback....

Thanks and God Bless!

As suggested either nitrous or supercharged. The weak point even with what you have in my opion is the th350. Borg Warner T10 aluminum case 4 speedwould be sweet. That 396 is good off the line and pretty good top end for street.
