The difference between 525/550 hp levels and 600 hp levels is dramatic both in equipment and in price. That's why you don't see 383 crate engines much past the 500hp mark for the most part. You are really getting into a niche type of market and a custom built entry level race engine. Especially if you are going pump gas NA.
A 383 that makes and honest 600hp at the crank is making 1.57 hp per cubic inch. That would require carefully selected parts (heads, cam, compression, carb) that would likely be less that optimal with the assisted breathing you speak of down the road. You need to do more reading and homework and figure out what you really want, otherwise you will compromise your goals, waste money (can always make more) and time (so precious).
