I can say my 5.0 modular forged motor would make near 700whp on 10 psi through a novi 2200. Thats with the boss intake. Prob hit 700 with the cobra jet. My motor is also 11:1 and makes a good bit of power without boost. With the exception of the ls7... i dont think any stock longblock would make that power on 10lbs. Unless its turbo...but i too would make more with a turbo setup.

Keep making excuses for why the GM product makes more power. 
You can say my car has more displacement, then I'll argue "well, your car has four cams and four valves per cylinder!".
Also, Fwiw an LS3 and 5.0 will make in the same area for power with the same blower/psi.
What would be more interesting is seeing how a built N/A 5.0 would stack up to a similarly modded N/A LS3. My $ on the LS3.

it weighs 3200lbs... and i still havent seen a bolt on ls3 match my power on my dyno. Highest fifth gen full exhaust, air intake, tune, ive seen is 395. I know the vettes dyno a bit more... but not THAT much more.

Definitely. But (and this isn't an excuse, just an extremely-valid point) the LS1 has also had a LOT of development time, and aftermarket heads/cams that share nothing with their factory counterparts. As far as I am aware of, there is only one company right now that does anything but regrinds of factory cams, and no aftermarket head castings yet. That information might be out of date, of course.
