1992 Firebird supposed to be 500 hp

Here is the bird my brother and I did all the work. 383 stroker eagle parts mostly alum heads rpm air gap summit Carb (anyone else ever use one of these?). Did a little cutting and grinding around the radiator see where the cap goes? I thought it looks sweet got a tiny washer sprayer bottle off of a Mazda b2000 the pulleys and bracket are off of a 97 GMC Jimmy not sure what we were doing there but I didn't see that setup yet. We also undercoated the firewall and underneath the car then painted the firewall and touched up everything under the hood. AC delete box fuel line ran over the top to keep it cooler. Seats out of a scion lol. On and on but it is looking real good. I was told this motor should produce a little over 500hp.

Maybe it's the pic, but I'd cut that ball valve handle down just to be on the safe side. You dont want that thing burning. Just me.
