Full boltons/cam/healthy nitrous shot. Should be in the 500+rwhp range. Cheap and efficient. Turbo/supercharger are $$$$$$. If you got the dough, do it. But I think you will have a lot of fun with a 400rwhp car full time, and 150 extra hp on demand, cause I do!!!
dont dismiss nitrous so easy... i bought a nitrous setup last fall and im gonna tell you with 100 shot kicking in its fun as hell... and thats only a 100 shot... should be around 520-530 rwhp with the juice. I had the same idea of hating to fill the bottle, but damn even spending all day at the 1/8th mile track i used only 6 pounds (did atleast 10 runs). What i did was get a 75 pound tank and just keep refilling my 10 lb bottle. Its cheaper and its convenient.... The other part i didnt think id like about nitrous is that the bottle runs out (one reason i did the refill setup) but after i realized it lasts quite a while it was less of a concern. I mean you have to refill gas too so everything runs out right... lol
edit, i just went back and read your last post if all you want is 500 at the crank that shouldnt be too hard to do with good heads and a healthy cam. Just put the nitrous on top of that and you'll be real happy

The question is? How to get there the cheapest way. HP per dollar?
I have had the Nos bug years ago but sill dont want to be filling and or turning the bottle on and off all the time...
Just like it anytime I want it......good ole N/A HP
You cold get the 500HP easy enough by spending money in several different arenas.. but whats the cheapest?

ya hp for dollar i would vote spray. I mean you can get a decent deal on here every now and then for a sts kit, you will probably need to run 7 to 8 psi to make 500. But it will still be more than spray. Im going to try to make 500 0n my sts kit here soon.
