Not enough info. Need cam and what comp ratio with these heads.

Those heads are going to severly reduce your HP on a 383 setup.

The cam component is missing out of this. Cam and heads are going to be where most of the power is made. 882 heads are stinkers and will be your primary limitation.

And anyone guessing on power is doing just that...guessing. How much power you can make depends upon how savvy a tuner you are. Many excellent combinations don't achieve anywhere near their potential due to tuning errors. And many not so well matched combinations do better than expected due to some excellent tuning.
