How much HP should I be making?

Right now my setup is a rear mount but I am going to change it to a front mount after this season. I think maybe what I think I should be making is not what I will make. So please give me a realistic idea.
Here is the build:
408
L92 heads midly ported
VTC-3 cam
10.25:1 compression
GT-88 Turbo

I am currently pushing 12psi, but I plan on working my way up to 17psi.

Thanks.

That is what I am hoping too. I have been looking for dyno numbers on past builds so I can see how realistic my expectations are.

Does any turboed 408 owners care to give this info out?

I thought L92 heads start to lift much over 12lbs...?
