450 is pretty attainable and you don't need a blower to get there. 450 provides a pretty thrilling ride and is a good "stepping stone" before you go to anything more potent to make sure the most important part, the nut behind the wheel, is ready.

Go 450 with an FI system that has the potential to give much more. Then when you get bored, there's the potential to go higher.
