Default Will this combo get me to 500HP!!

Like the title stated, I have done quite a few searches and I think this combo will get me to 500 crank horsepower or about 440 rear wheel horsepower. This is a budget bulid. Any suggestions will be greatly appreiciated. So here is my proposed combo.
LQ9 w/317 heads milled .030 to bring up compression
Texas Speed Torquer v.2 Camshaft w/Comp Cams "918" Springs
LS6 intake manifold
80 mm throttle body
K&N air filter
Slp lid
Long tube headers
Slp loudmouth exhaust

Build it and find out. It depends a lot on what is done to the heads, trans, cltuch / stall. I doubt you'll see those kind of numbers with those parts.

Sorry here is some more detail about the car. Its a 1999 Trans Am WS6 with an 4l60E auto with a yank 3200 stall. Looks like I'm going to fall short of my goal somewhat. I don't have the extra money right now for headwork or aftermarket heads. Any other suggestions??
