500 flywheel hp maybe...but not rwhp. I assume we are talking about stock heads????
500 flywheel is stretching it and only happens with every last trick and mod done with a stock headed motor.

My rwhp numbers are in my sig. Those are Superflow dyno numbers. The DynoJet corrected numbers were 482hp and 406 lbft. But, using when calculating flywheel horsepower, since it wasnt put on an engine dyno, using 16% correction factor for drive train loss, my car makes around 540hp and the flywheel. (going by the superflow numbers. I believe my Dynojet Numbers from the place that has the superflow were slightly inflated.)

Do you really expect to make 500 rwhp with just a cam.....
Again....are we talking stock heads???????????
Cam only cars are not all that common that make 500fwhp. Just go check the dyno section

You wont make 500 without high quality heads.
