You bring up a very interesting point. You say the SB is louder than the BB cars. I have always been interested in what is called the "big block sound". Personally, I have never been able to tell a BB from a SB by only listening to the sound of the engine.
I run a 357 cu.in. Windsor which produced 472 HP and 440+ lbs of torque on the dyno. (Real HP not BS HP  ) Everyone that sees the car thinks it has a BB in it. They cannot believe their eyes when I open the hood to expose the Windsor power plant.

My engine produces 1.32 HP per inch and I have to agree with you that much more than that would not make a very good street engine.
A 500+ HP street 302 with no blower or bottle doesn't add up. I have a feeling it is mostly BS HP.
