A good SS 281 motor may make around 480-490 HP(which is only 50 or so more HP then a stocker one), maybe even 500 with the right cams. a good running 283 like Robbin browns makes well over 500 HP. Which is rated around 225 to 230 I think.

283/220 is rated at 237(I run that same combo just nearly as fast as Robin!)
