Yes with more porting and better intakes (mine are off the shelf)
And better carbs and maybe more cubic inch's, But both of these
Motors were built with used parts good part mind ya but still used.
Lets see what kind of power you can make. Since I've dynoed a
Couple motors I know it's not that easy to make 600+ HP.
Show us your dyno sheet when you do your motor and we;ll evaluate
The power you make and I will applaud or I will ride your ASS LOL

Its OK to be a smart ass, I know how I come off sometimes. Some have a problem with me giving a opinion and that's fine. My point is you gave your opinion too. Yes you did base it on a build you have done. Your build is admittedly not a high end build, some used parts. Nothing wrong with that.
Thing is, if you can not make 600+ HP on pump gas(E85, 13-1, not really) .264 roller cam with 318cfm heads something is wrong. I mean, its going to unless the cam is 8 deg retarded.(buddys engine)
Your engine has two fours on a tunnel, 1400 cfm of carb with a .275 @ .050 cam and 11.37-1 CR. Its simply going to make 600+ HP unless something is very wrong. You did port them yourself, saving money.
Nothing wrong at all with the power you are making. Just not a high end enough build to give a strong "opinion" as to these Chinese heads are better than our USA Edelbrocks.
The 461 I am building at this moment will not see a pump. It will see weight, ET and MPH and go from there. No used parts, well thought out Sparred little expense. Cam I am using made 815 and 865 HP on pump gas 535 and 505 engines. And will post what it does when ironed out and folks can say what they want no problem.
To me I would need to see a "wow" engine before I would think those Speedmasters are any better. Have not yet I need that before I throw my country under the bus on this.
