I would suggest getting the mods done, get a dyno pull, then figure a 50% increase in gross power after the blower is added.
Nobody can give a realistic guesstimate of how much random power it would create with "full bolt ons".

buddy of mine has full bolt ons, mild blower cams, pi intake, and a procharger running 13lbs through non pi heads, untouched making 385rwhp just to give you an estimate...keep in mind his car isn't even intercooled

yeah, as long as you get the pi cams, and intake w/ full bolt on's and the blower w/ a nice tune i could easily see it being close to 400. the nonpi heads arnt that bad. they only lose about 10hp. the intake and cams are wayyyy more restrictive. good luck!

Well theres a good chance it would have a significantly lower lifespan after you do a PI swap and do 12psi through it. Most people with PI swapped cars run very conservative tunes due to the high compression and avoid blowing their motors. Remember the engine is only strong enough to handle 425hp on a a regular PI car. You could probably get ~400hp pretty easily but how long would it last?

okay, btw the pi intake wouldn't matter anymore since it is a roots blower so it comes with its own intake

also i am not doing the heads so the compression ratio wouldn't be too high and i am going to go forged so don't worry about that

just want to know some #s

this is the blower http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/product.phtml?p=744

about 320 rwhp on 6psi with pi cams...you will probably need head work, blower cams and 8-9 psi to approach 375rwhp with that eaton m-90 you were looking at.
