$3800 isent too bad crate engine speaking. Cams are a un known factor, and the 430hp and 450lbs/ft are with a victor Jr intake, so I would guess more like 410-415hp. Also, to make that much power with a 9:1 vortec headed 383 you'd need a BIG cam, much bigger then what stock vortec heads can handle. See if you can get us some more info.
