Compression will be 8.5:1, not sure what boost it will make as I don't have any flow numbers on the heads. The heads are Mopar performance stage VI, they came from Paul Manders Plymouth Arrow.
The Procharger is the F1-R with water and methanol injection.
Carb is an 850 blow through built by BLP being fed by an Aerospace 400 fuel pump.

You don't have to worry too much about head flow when using boost.
With the water and methanol injection as well as an intercooler you should be able to run 24lbs of boost easy.

I'm not using an intercooler, the water/meth has 2 pumps, 1 on low boost then the 2nd coming in at 14psi

14 - 16 psi is probably going to be your limit then. That still means getting on for nearly double the power over N/A though.

I always take any sales pitch with a pinch of salt.
But in this case he might be right.
