I picked up the tvmade ez kit for my 200 4r. Don't have it in yet but I've used their kits on holley and edelbrock carbed setups without incident. I think it's $150ish and requires you swap out a spring in the trans. An alternative would be a constant pressure valve body from tci, making the tv cable little more than a formality.

What is your budget on this deal?
Are you set on an auto?
500rwhp through an auto NA with an LS2 is a TALL order for something daily driven. Spray of course makes it easy.
500rwhp with a 6 speed LS2 is doable with heads, the right cam, intake, and all the details.
6 speed LS3 cam only can hit 500rwhp without too much heartache. Mine had 465 cam only and there were still plenty of bolt ons and tweaks to do.
Don't get me wrong, an LS2 auto from a GTO is probably your most cost effective package and AWESOME! Consider the L99/auto package from a 5th gen, though it will have a considerable price premium.
If it were me, I'd snag an LS2/T56 combo from a GTO, add LS3 heads, a nice cam, 1 7/8 headers, and you're gonna be knocking on 500 with the right cam and tune. I'd do the 6 speed for an AX car, but it's hard to beat the convenience and consistency of an auto.
Good luck!
