Since Luhn Performance made 862 HP at 5300 rpm with a Vortech Centrifugal Supercharger (13 psi of boost) and a very basic 455 type engine, I do not see where a street boosted engine at 15 psi of boost could not make 500 hp with a very basic 400 cid engine and 3.75 stroke.
Years ago with the same sized Vortech Supercharger on a 281 cid engine we made 762 hp at 7000 rpm. You could make 500 hp with a 326 engine.
