BPE likely advertises their products based on the part combo they will use and advertise that #. BPE does dyno every motor they make and includes that dyno sheet with that specific motor which is often more than the published "advertised" HP. My motor was a dressed long block so it did not have intake, carb but otherwise was a pan to valve cover motor. It was dyno with 600 cfm carb which is what I used. My 355 dyno at 411 HP/413TQ.

I ordered my BPE direct from them and while talking to the representative about what specific brands of parts they used and bearing clearances, he said yes, they all make more than advertised HP/TQ but are only about 5 HP/TQ difference between same combos. I asked to pull the one making the most TQ vs HP out of the lot they had on the floor. I had my motor 4 days later.
