Albert Pujols is currently 29 years old. He has 353 home runs.

At 29 years old Ken Griffey Jr. had 400.

He was actually a little younger at that point than Pujols is now, but that's only a few months so it doesn't matter.

His dropoff came as a combination of age, and injury. Pujols is prone to those same things. He may or may not slow, but regardless of what we think will happen in the future, there's no denying that at the same point in their careers Griffey was on a better pace than Pujols.
