Yeah I know how it goes. But this engine should be making 850+ hp unless something was put together wrong. It has 24 degree heads, good compression, big cam, big carb, big headers, etc. Trick Flow says their 24 degree heads make 1000 hp with a similar short block. But without having it on a dyno I can't say for sure what it makes. The fact that it ran 151 mph one time means it does have at least 800 hp.
