The most power is one thing, but the fastest/quickest is another. You can get peaky numbers that will look nice on paper, but a broader power band with lower peak numbers will actually go faster. My point is... what are the intended uses of the car? How fast are you looking to go?
Building the car to perform will make you happier than getting a nice dyno sheet.

I made 448rwhp, 432rwtq with a LG's G5X1-E cam, AFR205's (milled to 59cc), LG Pro Long Tubes, Vararam. Torque on this car is fun to say the least 
Mod list on my web page (see my signature below).
I was told that with a Fast 90/90 intake I could get another 20rwhp. ~470rwhp would not be too shaby for such a drivable cam.

I have a well-built and tuned car that I can drive VERY easily on the street. Have the car built for what you intend it to be used for and enjoy it from there. I only use the dyno as a means of benchmarking to see positive/negative increases for my car and my only, I do not use it for comparison to other vehicles.
By the way, mod list is as follows and I'm estimating that it'll be 420-430 rwhp:
- CAI (will be replaced with a single filter unit rather than dual)
- Ported TB and Intake (LS6)
- Mild Cam (unsure of specs)
- Longtubes
- X-pipe
- Cat-back
