Considering Naruto's difficult growth, i think we can go until about the end of the Pain Arc that Boruto can surpass Naruto in speed, power, intellect and number of jutsu. Once he became Sage Naruto seemed to be a lot smarter about his fights. Boruto overtaking Naruto past that point is possible through alternative ways, but he probably can't overtake him in terms of how fast Naruto became a god. It's possible to possess immense chakra reserves without being Jinchuriki (see: Hashirama, Kisame) so Boruto can definitely learn to surpass Naruto by himself.

The real question is: will we see enough of Boruto that we get to the point where Naruto's power just grows exponentially?
