Default how much HP should i have?

stock WS6 with all free mods- 10-11 psi procharger twin intercooled, 160 thermostat, 42# inj, inline pump, pace setter headers, ORY, borla, 12 bolt.
ive left the tune rich-- 10.5- 11:1...im thinkin i could go to 12:1 with a blown app. , right?
i hope the thing really wakes up with a good tune. i think im missing approx 100 horse..lol
hoping 550rwhp. is that too much to ask for with my mods?
thanks....any tuning pointers welcomed ..i have ls1-edit, and EFILive.

You should have no problem making 550. I am runing the stock block as well, with the exception of a little differance in valve train= 1.85 rocker arms and Ls6 springs and titanum reatiners and locks, chromly push rods.
I was able to hit 540rwhp with a good tune and 9psi. This was on a Dyno Jet on a 95deg day @ aprox 5100'.
It will be all in the tune, and provided you have no belt slippage, 8 rib system is a must.
