That Gazoo Racing twincharger setup looks amazing, I gotta say! I'm sure it's nowhere near my budget and who knows if they'll even make one! It must have an incredible powerband, though!

The HKS hit 280 (probably more like 290) bhp but they apparently had a lot more than just a supercharger and intercooler bolted on. Without upping the revs or dropping compression (bad! imho), I think you really can't hope for more than 25% increase. Probably can't just give it a thicker head gasket because the injector spray is supposed to interact with the piston bowl to bring fuel closer to the spark plug.
Right now peak power is at 7000rpm, and we have 7500rpm to play with, so there's not really room to move the power up. The volumetric efficiency is apparently a bit low since the torque isn't great, so maybe that creates a little extra room for boost, but we apparently the stock engine already has some knock and runs very rich...perhaps it could use some E85 hehe.
