Default Getting the power to the wheels

In the past month I purchased a BDR Cobra with a 408 Keith Craft engine. The car was built in 2010 and in that time managed 900 miles. I have added an additional 200, and have been trying to work the kinks out of a motor that has been mostly dormant. The Dino docs it came with indicate the motor produced ~530hp. I recently put it on a mustang Dino and after three passes managed 378 to the wheels. The car was running lean, and timing seems off. Engine had a nice flat power band, but broke up at around 5800. I could not get to the 6250 redline. All this said, what are the chances of getting this thing to where it should be? I was expecting 440 to 450. Just curious if others have had this experience.
