my buddy told me to make a goal before i get deep into something so i wanted 500rwhp and yeah i wont concentrrate on that as much.
thats why i asked which build would be best for me. thanks guys

yea i plan on doing the build from bottom up preaty much. i want to do rotating assembly first. i also want some nice high flow heads for this type of build and a cam to match the specifics not just a huge cam. i read alot about cams today and there is alot! lol. but i want to make it good and try to have a budget build.

Screw Rwhp numbers... Means absolutely nothing if the setup doesn't work together. I put down 370Rwhp in my stalled FULL WEIGHT A4 car and am knocking on 10s back door.
If you absolutely have to have a 500Rwhp just to impress people.... Recipe is simple..
lid
ls6 intake/ported TB
cam- anything above a size 230/232 .600 114 will do the job fine (of course you need springs/pushrods/timing chain/oil pump as well)
LTs/ORY/cutout stock muffler or aftermarket, does not matter as you will run with open cutout when racing and what not
converter if an A4 (I suggest a 3600 nitrous converter)
gears are a must if you are an M6, 410s... If A4 it is up to you if you want to change gears.. If you have 273s I would at least swap to 342s.. If you have 323s, I would leave them in there.
Spray it..
That should get you to 500 and then a little in an A4 pretty easily.. M6 you will be well over your mark.

Forged bottom end.... Heads.... Stroking the engine... Etc etc etc... All for a measly 500Rwhp?

You could do the build I posted for under $2,500 easily and put down well over 500Rwhp... That is if you are starting with a bone stock car.
But again, if you are M6... You need around 1,500-2000$ for your rear end.. As well as quite a pretty penny for trans upgrades. BOTH will be a MUST with a 500+Rwhp M6. With an A4 both should last much longer than with an M6.

That car is 150Rwhp shy of 650. it isn't 650 until it is 650. That is 500.

N/A because if you boost you want to be safe so that still involve's building the bottom end..IF you want to run a high amount of boost...And still it seems to me you would have to build the rear end..
