your asking for quite a bit imo

500 hp with no power adder is ne easy feat (on a budget that is)
400 + a blower or nitrous a lot easier, but gonna exceed your budget
my thoughts are, you should shoot for 300-ish and squirt 100 on it. it will super streetable, and the extra 100-150 is on tap whenever you want it

otherwise a 347 and a blower is pretty much gonna guarantee you 500 hp, for about double of what u wanna spend
