High HP + cheap = boom!!!!!! Do it right or don't do it at all. I got to 430 RWHP with a small cam, stock intake and a great set of Dart Pro heads. That set up was very moderately priced and just broke a valve spring. Now it's costing me another $5K to replace all the valves, valve springs, forged Mahl pistons, Eagle I beams, bored 10 over, balance and blueprint the entire engine.
Your tranny and rear end will fail on your first high rpm drop. Your clutch will need to able to handle 600 hp also.

Also - Patrick G has a great write up on how to get the 98-02 TA/Camaro into 500rwhp territory N/A, but it certainly isn't cheap. I think he went with Tony Mamo ported AFR 205's, a Custom Spec'd cam by himself, and Full Bolt-on's including a ported Fast Combo.
