Default Will this setup crack 450 rwhp?

I realize this is just another gay thread, but bear with me.

Please no comments on which heads I "should have" bought.
This is what I have and am stuck with for awhile... need your opinions.

What ballpark numbers do you think this thing will put down with a 347, Fast 90/90, very nicely ported 241's with 2.02's milled to 10.5 to 1 cr, torquer V2, EWP, underdrive pulley, longtubes, cutout, M6 through a 12 bolt with 373's and a good tune? The new motor is almost done. I'll buy the closest guess a beer.

I'm gonna guess 430-440. Am I on track or do you think it can make more?

I'm gonna be more on the conservative side and say 390-400.

My guess is will be around 410-420rwhp. Maybe a little more but that 12 bolt is going to rob you of a few dyno numbers.
