Who cares what they can do with a P pump when we're talking VEs?

You're preaching to the choir my friend. 
But as has been pointed out, you're using an awful lot of Nawz to get 500hp from 5x12's on a 12mm VE.
I'd like to think I might break 500hp to the ground with a 12mm VE and 6x16s in the next few weeks. And yes, that's with a lot of air (62/14 over an HT3B, BIG custom Hellman IC, flowbenched head, Hamilton 188/220, etc, etc, . . . . )

I made 301 with 5x14s, intake, exhaust, and a good converter in my 727. That's what I would recommend to you.
As far as 500 on 5x14s, the most I have ever seen is 400-ish on a ton of spray...VE's don't have lots of injection pressure, so they need big injectors to make power.
