Default Suspension Setups for lots of power.......

I need suggestions on what to do with my suspension from people with a lot of boost. Right now I am running on stock gsr tires, almost blown stock shocks and eibach sportline springs My pocket is going to be very shallow after I get everything tuned. What should I start out with? Tires? Shocks?

I dont know how much power I will be making yet, but here will be my setup soon:

LS/VTEC - JG Pro Series Head
ENDYN Pistons 9.2 compression
Eagle Rods
Darton Sleeves, stock bore

T3/To4e .57 compressor
Drag Manifold and intercooler

Hondata 2b and Delphi 550's
B16 Tranny
2.5 exhaust and stock cat

Can anyone give me an estimate of what I will dyno? I want to extract as much power/boost as long as I am safe. I am hoping for close to 400whp.

What clutch? Are you going to be dragging the car or mostly street driving? I "plan" on making somewhere in the neighborhood of 250-275 whp when I'm done and I'll be using H&R sports, konis, and falken azenis probably for traction, although I know I could put more power down with drag radials. Take into consideration what your doing to your drivetrain and what it can and can't handle. My car has always been and will still be mostly street driven which is why I'm not running really high spring rates. You just have to tailor your suspension to what works best for you. Oh and if you want to make the most power and your not concerned with emissions, I would ditch the cat and move up to at least a 3" exhaust.
