what cam ?
Have 383 stroke with.030 flattop piston (2 valve relief )750 holley
headers now the kicker using 882 heaads which have been ported yes I know heads are no good at least thats what I have been told, from what I can figure out I am at thrust hole( compression) for pump gas with these heads have to use these heads for now ( buying house ) .
Cam I have is 224/224@ 50 with 114 lobe also what hp may I be looking at with this setup.As far as what other heads I may get not sure due to my compression ant ideas for heads.
Thanks

300 HP or so. 
Based on 383, typical headers, muffs, no catalytic converter, dual plane, stock head castings, 9.4 C/R (which is probably not as close to the edge as you suspect), .450"/.460" lift cam and a DD2k simulation.
You could add 50 HP with a head swap to some Dart Iron Eagles.
You could add another 60 HP with a cam swap.
All just stuff I got out of the DD2K. Your results may vary.
-Mark.
