Mid to upper 400s easy if your motor holds. Most will say thats too much boost for a stock block. Those are some big ass injectors also. 42lbs would have worked fine. In for some number good luck!

Hmm I'm gunna go with 450rwhp before u peg your maf..., as for tips.. Make you get A/F printed out and not much higher than 11.5.. Ask about how much timing is being ran.. And make sure you keep it safe.. But like I said you are going to need a BIG MAF from SCT because that lightning is going to peg I can almost guarentee it..

My buddys 97 cobra is making 470hp on a mustang dyno v2sq blower and meth injection stock block. I personally don't know anyone else who beats the living crap out of the car more then he does and its lasted 2 years so far. My other friend is running 510hp on a mustang dyno with his 07 Shelby GT stock 3v motor. He has about 20+ track passes and gives it hell on the street. The conclusion is a majority of it is all in the tune which allot of people under estimate.

what maf would you recommend for this setup? I am going to be running a very simular one and will probably need to get a new one.

how much power would i gain by switching the maf?

SCT BIG MAF 2600 or higher.. with the maf not pegging I would venture to say knocking on 500rwhp depending on how much timing they guy puts in..

about 11.5 at redline i think he said 20 degrees timing and 12# also those numbers are to 5800 rpm beacause that is where my rev limiter is set and i didn't really want to go any higher.
