Default Rwhp goals/expectations

I have a 99 T/A A4 completely stock, I recently won a huge settlement so budget isnt an issue. I'm wanting close to 500rwhp preferably N/A but I wouldn't mind FI also the car doesn't see any track use.
i was wondering what numbers I'll achieve with
Tfs 215 heads
Vrx5 cam (or an alike 230s cam maybe 240s)
Fast 102 intake & tb1 7/8 headersSlp loudmouth
Slp lidU/D pulleyAnd of course I am looking to make it reliable so I've already ordered a performabuilt stage 3 4l60e, 9" 35 spline rear end, 42lb injectors, 255lph walbro, and of course new oil pump, rod bolts gaskets etc maybe a wet nitrous kit just for fun? And maybe forged internals???
​​​​​​Any advice/opinions? Any and all input appreciated, thanks.

Add a 4000+ stall to that order

If budget wasn't a concern I would have gone with cubes or boost. That is not a great recipe to 500whp with a stalled auto and a 9". That cam will do arounds 410whp with I/E. Add some heads and you're still quite a ways away from 500whp.

I was thinking about F/I but idk if a 3.3 whipple SC would fit in these f-bodys I can't find anything about it other than it going on someone's swap. I already had looked for some heads and cam for boost too I was thinking like some lq9 heads a 220/220 cam with no overlap etc

You dont need a whipple. A used Procharger is a bolton deal and will easily hit your goals. It'll work better with an NA setup too. You could do a turbo kit, but it requires more fab/space as compared to a Procharger. Look for a used kit. Even running 5 psi would easily hit your goal.

gear for mph going through the traps or what you want to cruise at on the highway. Either of those would likely be fine depending on tire height and goals.

Yank the engine, hone and new rings. Aftermarket crank rods and pistons. Make it strong. Stroke it add a blower. Best heads you can afford. Call it a day. You will make 550+ and be very reliable with proper cooling setup. Keep us posted and pics.

If you really want to get serious then forgo to block and get an aftermarket big ci. Add whatever PA youd like. 1000+hp street car. Depends on how big this settlement is and what you want.

It's a pretty big settlement I have close to $70K just to play with but I don't want to go all out and have a crazy 1000hp build as the car doesn't see any track use, maybe a few roll races and WOT a day in town and some daily driving here and there. I would prefer a bullet proof & solid 500hp ~600hp and not have to worry about what rpm I "can" rev it to. I think I might go d1sc route so I have room to grow if I ever decide to go with a crazy high hp build.
