The hp numbers are very conservative and accurate, but the torque numbers are not. Normally a 1.3 lb-ft/ci engine is a very strong engine that usually requires a little attention on parts selection.

At 603 (estimated) with 427 cubes, you are over 1.4 lb-ft/ci. It's also advertised to lose 9% through the driveline and exhaust, which isn't accurate at all.

That's why I hate dynos...
