Are these predicted hp numbers even remotely correct?

I found this on the nasioc turbo forum: TD05-16G (small) - 505CFM at 14.7psi for a 2.0L engine . . . click on the link.

On the turbo chart it also gives a set of conversions to approximate hp:
1 HP approx equals 1.45 CFM
1 CFM approx equals 0.0745 lb of air/min
0.108 Lb/min approx equals 1 hp
1 Meter cubed/sec = 35.314 CFS = 2118.867 CFM
1 KG/sec = 132 lbs/min approx equals 1771.812 CFM
Now if I do the conversion:
505x0.0745=37.6225lb of air/min
37.6225/0.108=348.356hp
Now I'm assuming there are other factors that take away from this number, and I know that this is ESTIMATED crank hp, not wheel hp. However, the measurements of CFM for the TD05-16G are based on a 2.0L engine and not a 2.2L engine. How would these measurements differ with a larger engine?
Now close to 350hp would be nice, but I'm not really thinking that's the case with my car. Especially since I'm maxxing out the injectors . . .
Anyone care to comment?
