Smile Looking for the magic 500RWHP w/Vortech.

So, I have a VORTECH aftercooled system sitting on the shelf in my garage. The longer it sits there, the more my mind wanders and thinks: "hmmm....what if(_____)?"
Resultently, here I am now! What would you supercharged guys recommend to send my setup over the 500RWHP mark? This is going to be a winter project and I have plenty of time to buy things and install. I just want to get the most out of FI without having to go into the engine.
I figure i might as well take full advantage of the long winter and do it right the first time.
Any help would be appreciated!

i dont recommend pushing it on a stock block but if you insist, just put a 2.75 pulley and run about 10-11 lbs. make sure you have a decent fuel system and get some better valvesprings.

if you haven't polished the kit now would be a good time to do so.

No times here. I do not like dragstrips. I am a handling freak/highway bandit.
