Default 2006 S/C saleen Upgrade

Im looking to get my saleen to have around 600 rwhp. Right now the supercharger is sitting at a safe tune of like 8psi (stock i suppose). I think 15 psi would make the car scream. Besides changing the pulley what else do u guys think i need for this car to have 600 rwhp?

A forged bottom end should be the first thing on your list as anything north of 500RWHP is very risky for stock internals.

My Saleen is at 620HP and 550 RWHP on race fuel on high octane gas is at 515 rwhp on a safe tune. You can read all that I had done to it on the poster below. This car is FAST! I was told by my tuner that we can get more to the wheels but he thinks we should stay with a safe tunning and not get to aggresive and hert the engine and everything else if you know what Iam saying.

ED, do you have dyno sheets of the 550rwhp run? I am curious to see the curve and a/f. Also, I am keeping my car a tad safer than your 515rwhp setup for fear of grenading the pop metal internals. One of these days a set of forged internals might be in order, but right now I can't bear to tear the motor down.
