Default V-9 Rated for 575hp? Is this too small?

Looking at a great deal on a used V-9 Kit. I see on vortech's website its rated for 575hp, is this rwhp? Because I've seen people making this much or more with this head unit right? What kinda power could I expect with my combo and my cam FM14 112.
Really looking for 600rwhp with a good tune (11.5:1 AF, 21-24 timing). This is my daily driver
Thanks
Travis

Inspector 12 has made that kind of power. Another member has made a little over 600.

With heads and cam it should be able to do it.

I don't recommend running that cam with the sc setup. 21-24 degrees of timing is too much too run on a fi setup unless your running methanol.

21 is too much for FI? **** I'm running between 29 and 31 NA.

I know somebody with a head unit for sell for $800 with next to no milage on it. I've heard 550rwhp-600rwhp is about all its got tho.
