I'm in line to agree with him ^^^ not knowing any specifics on the engine. Give or take a tenth or two.

Was it dynoed or 450-500 is just what the guys told you?
Those heads would need lots of work for those numbers.
Cam specs???
A 500hp small block is going to need more than a 2300 stall torque converter.
If you have 475hp and everything was perfect it would go bottom 11’s @120
I’m thinking you might go low 13’s...high 12’s if you’re lucky.
Not trying to be an *ss...been there, done that.

The 350 in my Regal is putting down 450 HP and runs 11.20's - I'm inclined to go with Clarmo, those heads are small for a 383 unless a ton of work has been done to them or you built a low rpm torque monster.
