Post 500 rwhp for $4000

I would like to get 500+ rwhp for around $4000. I was thinking about an LQ4 with L92 heads aftermarket valve springs a FAST intake manifold and a stage 2 camshaft a aftermarket torque converter a 3.73 gearing a performance chip a high flow air filterand eventually a Modular twin turbo kit and bore it out to a 408. Is this a good setup up for atreet strip car. If not any engine tips and tuning info.

When you find the combo that gives you 500 + rwhp for 4k Let us all know,
cuz we're all doing something way wrong.

Make sure you get the stage 4 performance chip... I heard the stage 3 is for third Gen tpi motors.

LS1 + bolt-ons + 150 shot = 500 rwhp

There's no such thing as a "performance chip" or "stage 2 camshaft." At least not in world of LS engines.

Maybe if you can get a steal on an lq4, bolt some nice ported and milled 5.3 or 243 heads on it plus a good cam.....but still don't know if you could hit your mark
