Exclamation New to ls1 tech and new build questions

Hi i am new to ls1 tech but not new to ls engines. I however am in the final stages on my new build. Its an 94 sn95 mustang gt i pulled a perfectly good running 306 ford crate engine and a built t5 to do my ls swap. The car now has in its place a 5.3 gen3 with btr stage 3 turbo cam slightly ported ls1 heads flowing 280cfm and a 78mm on3 turbo kit ran to the truck intake . Its gunna be on e85 with meth just for piece of mind. As far as the trans its th400 with a circle d 3800 stall. The rear end is a 8.8 with 373 gears. Its about to be finished and its going to be tuned for 10psi just to start and get use to the new car. Now my question is how much power do yall think the car well make with this setup before i up the boost? I want at least 500 rwhp to feel better about not modding my h/c/i ls1 camaro...Will i at least make 500rwhp with this setup?

Hello and welcome. Sounds like a very fun build you have and considering what you have mentioned, I think 500whp is a very feasible feet. Of course it can depend on the dyno used, since they all don't read the same and different dynos can very greatly. Good luck.

Thanks ill try and do a build thread sometime soon. I took a good bit of progress pictures waiting on one last part in the mail then it should be off to the tuner did the first start late last night sounded pretty healthy for a boost cam.
