ok, what about a budget? or do you just want to find out what you need to get for 500hp and then work towards it... ?

You could prolly get 500hp out of a built to the hilt n/a 346, but I dunno about being a driver on pump fuel. A 408 would definately get you there n/a in a pump fuel drivable package. Otherwise, blower....preferably turbo

Yea, don't we all Like posted above. There are so many different setups you can go with to obtain 500hp. Are you asking "how" in general or are you looking for some kind of specific setup? What do YOU want. NA? turbo? sc? nitrous? small block? etc.

Hope you have a nice budget [8D]
