Three easy ways to make power are; displacement, revs and compression. A 454 with 13.5:1 compression is going to be well over 400 horsepower in stock form. At 8.5:1 it is going to be maybe 230 H.P. or so. The low compression motor will also burn about twice as much fuel. The comparison needs more detailed information to be of much use.
