For 5 grand, good luck man. A nice reliable 600whp setup will run you 10+ easy. I would say closer to 15 grand if you used very nice components.

both will need a turbo/blower or nitrous... to hit 600hp

A stroked LS2 can hit 600hp in the right hands, easily. 358 c.i. motors are making 830hp with one single 730 cfm carburetor and a flat tappet cam every sunday, so why couldn't an LS1 or LS2 make 600? If you built it to make HP at very hi rpm it would easily make 600hp, so, I will disagree with you on that one.
