How much power does Steve Coppock expect from his supercharged Flathead?

Before testing a similar engine on a dynamometer in Phoenix, Steve predicts about 280 horsepower, maybe as much as 300, on pump gasoline. For scale he cites 65 horsepower in 1932 and about 125 horsepower for the strongest stock engine he can think of, a 1952 to 1953 Mercury.
