With higher compression and race gas 500+ rwhp is not hard whatsoever. Our SAM LS6 headed Darton engine made over 700 RWHP on race gas with a solid roller all motor. 600+ RWHP is easy with a big engine and a sheet metal with a solid roller and some compression. The intake manifold starts limiting you at this range usually.

That would be at the rear tires through 4.56 gears. On a Dynojet Chasis Dyno.
What does it take? The right parts, designed/installed/tuned by the right shop I guess.
here is a list of all the mods that would atribute to power gains;

Yep, I'm one of those 500+ motors and couldn't be more pleased. A pump gas motor that runs the numbers shifting at 6500 rpm. It idles solid and steady with no drivability issues what so ever.
Thanks Erik!!!!

So swap my setup over to a LS1 add an electric water pump and you should have damn close to 500 rwhp....

WS6TransAm01 also should mention that his car holds the stock bottom end world record for the highest RWHP in an LS1 (beating TTP a few months back) to show how rare that kind of power is. (Im assuming nothing has changed with in the past few months)
And I would say to be ready to spend a solid 20K on mods to go from stock to that, after all of the supporting suspension mods and many other upgrades to the drivetrain etc. Thats why juice is your friend.

I work Wednsday nights cause I go to school in the daytime, even now I have summer classes. On Fri/Sat they say I'm not allowed to race with bullet mufflers. Plus in the summer... sitting in a black car, not able to run A/C, in a fire-jacket and helmet... not my idea of fun.
Plus I hate E-Town cause they never prep the track, and I don't need to go sideways. I'll be back in the fall to check the tuning and shakedown the car for the cool weather.
I know excuses are like ********, and everyone has them, but thats the story and I'm sticking to it.

I did not want to say that in fear of looking like an *******. But yes you are right. Thank you.

^ Dont hold back man, it wouldn't be show-boating, just telling the truth. Its important for the noobs to realize how hard/uncommon 500rwhp is. Plus its a nice record to hold and good to make others aware there have been two shops duking it out.
