500 is possible in a perfect 346 na setup. i'm fairly sure you will not see anywhere near 600rwhp on a stock cube set up though

Tell him the best advice we can give him is to set a more realistic goal, then come back.

475 is pretty attainable with stock cubes on a big cam, great heads and a ported FAST intake (or carb).

500 is do-able...but not easy...and will take EVERY trick in the book
