winters97gt made over 800 with the stock ECS kit (Novi 1500) on a built 402 on six ribs. With that many cubes I think boost was lower, like 12 or so. Before that I had the same kit and was making ~14# with the stock ECS pulley for 730/675 on my stock long block plus ECS blower cam with headers and meth.
Boost is somewhat irrelevant. What pulley do you have now?

Yea I'm right at 700whp with 12psi headers, cam, and meth, with lots of room to grow once I forge the internals! 
I'm guessing your one pulley size down and no restrictor???

I would guess with a M6 I would be about 700.
The motor is forged and built for boost, it has a lower compression, thus lower HP.
Looking for more, not that I need it, I just want it.

What he should be asking is how fast can he spin the thing. If he still has room in the blower to spin it faster then there's the answer.

The blower will make power with a 3.125 pulley and a stock balancer. I made mid 800hp/800tq on a T-trim(novi 1500) with a 3.125 pulley and over 400 CIs. It also has a nice hit when you over spin it. Might not make power to 7000rpm, but my car ran pretty well with that blower.

looking further into his profile i see an ls2 looks like? I guess your right. I have an ls3.... didnt realize there would be such a big difference in power.

My point was to disregard the boost PSI because it's not a function of flow but of restriction.
Calculate out how fast the OP is spinning the blower currently and see if it can spin faster or is it maxed out.
Your numbers further muddy up the comparison because of the Meth. Comparing apples and oranges here.
