Default Supercharger question

Guys I have a 98 Vette with quite a few mods and now have bought a supercharger.Here is a list of the mods I have right now.What I am asking is what would be the max boost u would use with this set up on a stock bottom end. This is a 30k mile car.What kinda horse power do u think it will make with the 6 or 7 pound pulley. I have a 9 and 12 psi pulley but wasnt gonna use it. The car made 398 rwhp on the dyno when they tuned it. I will also have it tuned with the supercharger.

564 lift 224 dur 114 lobe sep comp cam
tea stage 2 port and polished heads. Milled 30 with comp springs.
ls6 intake
90mm throtle body
comp push rods
160 hyper stat
vortex ram air
tpis long tube headers.x pipe and ghl exhaust
yank 3600 stall
flp stage IV harden trans
342 gear set.

what is the comp ratio you are running right now? cause you'll probally only be able to get away w/ the 6-7# pulley w/ the higher comp on a stock bottom end

also what S/C and kit? Andys vortech kit you'll see 530+ easy

also what size injectors you goin to run? the vortex ram air is gion to fly unless you have a Maggie...

btw if this is a procharger what size pulleys do you have? I am in the market for a smaller one

You will probably need bigger injectors

The heads being milled 0.030" is going to hurt you as the static compression is going to be high around 10.8:1 to 11:1. I would not push anything more than 5 or 6 pounds of boost. That should get you in the mid to upper 400s though.
