Default RWHP expectations?

OK. I have a friend with a '95 Z28..We are going to the dyno this Friday to have it tuned. What do you think it will put down? Setup is as follows:

LT1 bored .030 9.0:1
AFR 195 LT4 heads with 2.05/1.60s
LT4 intake
Custom grind blower cam 236/242
Powerdyne supercharger with 9psi pulley
Custom methanol injection kit
electric H20 pump
1.6s
Hooker longtubes/ORY, cutout
No A/C
30lb injectors
3400 stall
3.73s

We dynoed it last year and the hp numbers were low with 393hp/476tq
We found out that 7 valves were bent as he bought the heads used.
Those numbers were on a CC305 cam, no methanol, a boost leak making only 4psi. Fixed the valves, changed the cam,got a new head unit for the supercharger, and added the methanol kit and 42lb injectors. Any ideas? We're shooting for ~500rwhp and 500+tq...Agree or disagree?

500rwhp+ seems very possible to me. Post the numbers up here after you go, I'm interested to see them.

Will do..I just want to get some insight before we go. I would hate to get there and see a gain of only 20rwhp after all the hard work, but you got except what you get.
