Default 408 turbo rwhp estimates?

I would like some guesses from the experts on the forum about what I can expect as far as rwhp for this combo.

408 iron block, .030 overbore with 4.0 crank
forged 4340 rods and crank
Wiseco 2618 -15cc dished pistons
ARP studs and LS9 head gaskets
CNC Ported LS3 heads with 70 CC chambers
Comp cam by Martin@Tick 235/240 .610"/.612" 115+6
Victor Jr. intake with 102mm TB
1000 CC bosch injectors
S488 turbo with 1.45 AR T6 flange
5" exhaust
Truck cast iron manifolds with 2.5" SS crossover piping
Powerglide trans
Dana 60 rear end
I have not fit the intercooler in the car yet but it will be as big as I can fit with 4" tubing.

Hopefully that should be enough info.
Thanks in advance.

Not familiar with the parasitic loss in a glide but i do know dyno numbers in autos dont really mean anything. Also boost and fuel info would be necessary for any kind of guess.

I have seen similar setups make over 1000 rwhp. Biggest factor is probably going to be fuel system.

Don, I think your combination will probably not make the power numbers some of the M6 "dyno queen" cars will, but with the platform and weight of the car it's going in along with the set-up and experience you have racing, it's going to run like a bat out of hell at the track.

Default Update

I forgot about having this out there in space and I just found it today. Here are some updates. The car is running and I am putting miles on it last summer and fall. I am looking forward to the spring time so I can finish tuning the Holley HP and get some miles under boost in it. It is actually really nice to drive with the tall tires and 3.73 gears. The PTC converter and Glide seem very streetable.
Thanks to Martin for his cam choice. I am looking forward to getting some boost on it. The 5" exhaust dumped in front of the tire is quite a bit louder than I had anticipated. I have a C6ZO6 with the LG exhaust and it seems tame by the Vega under mild acceleration.
I do wish I was a better and or smarter tuner but I guess that will come. Here are some pics.

Thanks Martin. I appreciate you checking in with me once in a while to see how the project was going. As soon as the weather gets about 50 degrees or so I will take it out and see what I can find out...or get arrested.
