estimate HP here, not sure

ok, heres what i know for sure about the engine,
350 4 bolt
.30 over
cam 537/554
holley double pumper
holley (looks like the weiand tunnel ram intake man)
dome pistons (biggest you can get)
13.something:1 compression
3500 stall
th350 man valve body all billet aluminum
all foraged parts
solidlifter, roller rockers, double valve springs
msd 6a ignition
worked heads

my buddy was guessing 650 hp, but i am going with more, but i want to know you guys opinion, cause i am going to be getting the engine an trans combo, and i wanted to know what will be too much, he is giving it to me cheap cause i have known him for 10 years, but i want to know if it is worth it(probably going to sell it to me for 3400 he said), and what you think it might produce hp wise, and what a est ET will be with slicks on the back, thanks

400hp looks like a mismatch of parts if you ask me.

not 650 but we definitely need other specs like the heads and what holley duble pumper you have.

Car: '83 Z28, '07 Charger SRT8
Engine: 454ci, 6.1 Hemi
Transmission: TH350, A5
Axle/Gears: 2.73 posi, 3.06 posi
What size carb(s)?
What is the rod length (won't affect hp really, but helps other things)?
What are the rest of the cam specs?
What heads?
What was done to the heads?
What headers / exhaust system?
What kind of induction (cold air intake, ram air, cowl, etc etc)?
What is the rocker ratio?
What (if any) oil scraper / windage tray?
What fuel are you using (gasoline, alky, etc)
What octane (if gasoline)?

Something like that is gonna have ALOT of top end and a pretty soggy low end, especially with a tunnel ram intake... i would maybe go with a high stall speed.
