It is in the process of being re-built and would like to know what the best sc set up with be best with what i would like to do.

There a member on here by the name of Pro Stock John, that is selling a very capable supercharger kit, it would easily make the kind of power you want without nitrous.

Verdad Gallardo may have been a bit over kitll, if you could use 6.0 heads and get the compression down to say 9:1ish then you should be able to make some power.
however to make the power you want itll take alot of boost and a low comp motor built to handle it

Thats the fun part tho. I dont know im still thinking of when they actually begin working on my motor i might just put a good supercharger cam, low compression pistons, low compression heads with a fast intake and throttle body then a nice blower setup, what would you think that would cost, and what would be a good size cam for this setup? The 402 stroker motor i was hoping to have built with some other goodies is going to run close to $12k would i be lower than that with a blower setup?
thanx guys for the help

A Nice T trim or YSi trim will net you your hp levels and you'll never have to worry about filling your bottles.
4.10's in an a4 that already has a nice low gear in the tranny will be useless. You can back that gear down to a 3.23 or even a 2.73 and you'll still have a lot of low end grunt.

The 4:10s and the stall are prolly going to stay just to see what kind of 60's i pull, i know it might be a overkill and 1st gear will last for about .2 seconds when i launch but ive always had the dream of tires in the air. Ill go back to 3:73s or 3:42s after that but im just going to play for awhile.
you won't need 4.10's to pull up the fronts. unless you're running a tall tire you will run out of gear way before the finish line.
my friend dave makes approx 600 to the wheels, has a 3600 stall and a 12 bolt with 3.42 gears, he pulls them about a foot or so.

G trim,Forged 347,LQ9's and TNT f1 75 shot. Shooting for 700 rwhp. I ll know if it does it by the end of next month. Because Im going to run out of blower around the 550+ mark. 
A blower is easier on the motor. (doesn't crush the oil out of the bearings when it hits)
Filling the bottles gets old quick.Nitrous cars are harder to launch because of the massive torque hit.
FI is more of an 'up front' cost.
I see a turbo in my near future.
