Default RE: Horsepower question

Without compression ratio, and cam specs it's a tough guess.
The parts list states 430 to 450 possible hp. It all really hinges on the bottom end, comp ratio, and cam specs. I would guess.......around.......350 to 375?
A 850 cfm carb seems a bit much. I feel that a 750 cfm would perform better.
