460hp assuming something like 110 lsa and 1 3/4" full length headers.

I ran a quick simulation on your combo, with what you posted.
Used Lunati #00010 230/230 .480/.480 109 LCA Hyd Flat?
Put 1 3/4 headers and a 800cfm exhaust (gave about 1.5 psi backpressure).
Anyway, I'm someplace that I don't have all my passwords, so I can't post you a graph but ... I get

481 hp @ 6000-6250
455 ftlbs @ 4800-5000

I've done maybe 60 or 80 Sims of real cases, and if the data you put in is complete and accurate, the match usually is quite good to a real run on an engine dyno. The HP curve and peak is mostly right on, and yes maybe +/- 10HP at the peak. Chassis dyno runs (subtracting 12 to 15%) the Sim typically over estimates the low end power (torque), I have some theories on why that is

I have found the worst matches are with some magazine article, especially when they are trying to sell you something

If you can give me a better intake runner length and dia, and header pipe length and dia (those long side pipes will have an effect), I will run it again sometime and post a graph.

I did one for another forum member here, and it came out pretty OK ..

Your guess will probably turn out closer than mine and it didn't cost you $500+ for a program .... experience is worth more than $$$$$
