The most specific I could guess at this point is >=450hp but <500hp.

Agree it won't be limited, but it isn't going to completely replace ZCP either. They need to keep the $5k package price to maintain the high sell-thru rate. The CS will be there for those who few (maybe 10%, as a guess) want to go above and beyond that for an even more customized aftermarket look from the factory.
