At 10 psi of boost pressure the Turbo system would easily add 50% more power vs the NA Pontiac Engine and could make 700+ hp at a very mild 5200- 5400 rpm.

Luhn Performance made 863 Hp at 13 psi and 5300 rpm on a 455 type engine years ago.
No worries on a engine making 700 HP at around 10 psi. The Luhn Perf engine had a belt driven supercharger that consumed about 83 HP. With a Turbo his number would have been 940 HP at 13 psi.

That engine was run on Steve Morris Engine Dyno. The engine was inter-cooled.
