More cubes. Good heads. Right cam. Good exhaust.

^^ Yep our LSX 454, LS7 457 or LS2 460 long blocks will put you there n/a on pump gas. It can be done with a solid roller 408 as well but the bigger the engine the easier it makes the power and the less hard it has to work.

We've built several 454 LSX motors that make well past 600rwhp. I believe with a aggressive 418 LS3 with PRC 237 heads you could get close to 600rwhp on a budget. I finished a few of those that made between 670-700 flywheel hosepower!!

The PRC LS7 heads on a 454 LSX engine we dyno tested made over 750flywheel hp on pump gas!

Heads, cam, intake manifold, headers, full exhaust. On a 346ci ls1 450rwhp(+-) To get into the 500-600 rwhp with a 346ci you'll need forced induction or some go gas, But for those power levels forged internals are very encouraged if you want the bottom end to live.

I'd guess 12 to 1 compression.. 240 plus cam.. 205 plus heads and a ported fast
