the only way you'll make the power you're wanting will be forced induction. If it's a street car, do a supercharger for better low end power. For a track car do the turbo.
I doubt that magic stick is going to work well with forced induction, isnt the LSA around 112 on those things?
I would say swap the cam out for one designed for forced induction and put a procharger on it.

To make 500 or 600 rwhp you need to do a few more things. A 9in with some 4.11s or 4.33s. A fast 92 setup. Bigger camshaft i.e. tsunami or t-rex. TFS 235 heads.
If you go fi I would just put a procharger or something like that on the car.

the magic stick will work fine in my opinion, it favors torward the exhaust, which turbo cars like if im not mistaken, and is a decent size cam. The lsa is chozen by the customer so with that being said, what is your lsa man? hopefully 114 or more for turbo, otherwise you may as well just get a custom cam made.
