Default Is it possible?

Would it be possible to get 500hp at the wheels (not the crank) without the help of Nitrous or a S/C or Turbo? Thats my goal is to make a all motor 500hp 346.

Ah, figure I would ask since most camaros and trans am I read on people sigs are in the high 400s and then exceed beyond with the help of Nitrous or other kind of power adder. You wouldn't know a list of mods it would take to reach this goal would you?

Thanks for the link but what I ment was what mods would you need to take the engine you already have and make 500hp.

It can be done, but it will be expensive. It also may not be all that streetable.

that link is a heads/cam package, exactically what you're going to need for that kind of power. this topic has been beaten to death, and if you want anything streetable you're going to want more cubes, even a 383/382 ci would run much better. larger ci motors also have more power under the curve, even with the same peak numbers, so they are generally faster.
