I just got my car back with a 402 making 516 at the wheels with a 4l60e and a tenbolt 3800 stall. it has lots of goodies though. we are not done with the tune yet it should be close to 540 or more when done I hope.

its easy on a stroker, but with stock cubes its much harder.

there are only 2 guys off the top of my head who have done it, Pat G is one i think. and then a vette guy down in florida i think.

I came very close with my old 346 490 rwhp 445 rwtq. A lightweight single disk clutch and lighter flywheel probably could've manipulated my numbers into the 500 club but I wanted to drive my car worry free when it came to clutch failure, which is why I chose the exedy twin plate. I also had plans of doing a 402. Numbers very soon on the 402.

Have your friend look into some Tony Mamo re worked AFR 205's, mill heads to get around 11.5 or 11.6 to 1 compression a healthy cam should do the trick. Don't forget about some LG Pro longtubes minus cats, lgm big 3 catback, ud pully, ewp, Vararam cai, ported 92 mm FAST with a 92 mm tb. You are going to need every bolt on there is to have a good chance at 500 rwhp. I would aloso research the use of TFS 215's, that is if you don't want to pay the $$$ to have Tony rework a set of afr 205's.

Almost forgot, with stock pistons you will almost be guaranteed to have to flycutt your pistons for adequate PTV clearance with the large duration cams.

500 at the crank or rear wheels? Makes a big difference. I'd say I'm close at the crank.

I would bet money that the OP is asking about SAE corrected 500 rwhp, not STD, or flywheel.

Then you probably won't get the 500 rwhp you are looking for, unless you are willing to run closer to 12:1 compression and add torco at every fill up. JMHO, but Pat G would be the expert.
