10 pounds of boost courtesy of a Procharger D1SC will net way over 500 rwhp very easily.

Depending on your Compression Ratio.... Since your setup made 422rwhp i would think you have over 10.5 C/R maybe close to 10.8 C/R. With that much C/R you should be over 500rwhp with only 6psi easy. Good luck.

What CR, injectors and cam specs?

Are you willing to run a large intercooler in front?

Who's going to tune this, and what tool?

As LSs1Power mentioned above, CR will be key so you need to let us
know what your current compression ratio is. I too would suggest
a D1SC from Procharger.

You didn't mention what fuel mods you've done, but keep in mind
that your fuel system will most likely need some work done as well.

If you really want to be safe, run 6psi through a D1. You'll see some
nice power and the motor will be very reliable.

With an ATI ProCharger D-1SC, I'd shoot for 7 pounds of boost with your head/cam combination. You will easily make over 500 rwhp and with a good tune you will have a very nice combination. Bob
