Default LS1/LS2 in Hyundai Genesis Coupe

I have a genesis coupe and I'm planning on putting an LS1/LS2 in it in about a month. I need some suggestions on parts. I wanna hit 500whp NA. I'm for sure running custom long tube headers and e85 to start. I'm thinking a decent sized cam and heads should bring me there. Suggestions highly appreciated. I'm new to the LS platform.

Good luck with the swap, how many of these are swapped already? I know of atleast 1. Big cam, CNC heads, good Intake Manifold, and good flowing headers will get you in the 450+ range.

Tried and true 408 stroker will deliver and can be done for fairly decent price.

I knew about Enjuku but didnt know if anyone else had done it. Ive liked these cars since they came out and always wanted to swap one of these or the FR-S/BRZ.

With just cam and heads, dont see 500 rwhp unless you get a ls3 or put some boost on the ls1/2, a 408 would definitely get you there, and a 383 would put you just under 500rwhp on pump gas, so I dont know maybe a higher compression motor on E85 might see close to 500, good luck,

I do know a 383 LS1, heads, cam, and 11.2:1 compression with 4.08 gears is 481rwhp on 93oct
