Default easy 500 rwhp?

what is the easiest/cheapest way to 500 rwhp all motor. nitrous will be add on top of that. i was thinking that ls6 heads ported and ls6 manifold ported to match with all the bolt ons and a cam would get me there. i want something i can still cruise in with decent street manners and take it to a track day every once in a while.

Are you serious? 500 RWHP with the parts listed? Those parts would barely get you 500 HP at the crank, let alone the wheels.

Easy, cheap, and 500 RWHP with decent street manners just don't go together. Especially all motor. If you want that kinda power with good street manners, you are gonna be looking at more cubes, and that ain't cheap by any stretch of the imagination, especially since you will start breaking everything else (clutch, rear, etc).

Just bolt on a supercharger for an easy 500 rwhp.

You wont do it all motor with a H/C package, even if you have all bolt ons. Im shooting for 460 rwhp and Im buying to best parts I can (AFR heads etc...) You will need to go forced induction or more cubes. Forced induction, like a Procharger kit or an STS turbo kit will be your cheapest way to go. You will need other things to suport that HP though, like a clutch, subframe connectors not the mention the bolt ons to go with your forced induction to help it breath better. Plan on spending $5000-$8000

Horsepower isn't cheap, unless your sucking on the blue bottle.

If you plan on adding nitrous I wouldn't recommend a supercharger. If you want 500 hp all motor + nitrous you will have to add ci.

I think an "easy" 500 RWHP would be attainable with something like an '03+ Cobra...and may I forever rot in hell for breathing those blasphemous words.

i would think a mild cam, with a decent set of heads on a wet 100-150 shot should be more than enough to make 500 @ the wheels with a 6 speed. just because you make the numbers don't mean you will run the numbers at the track. there is a lot of other variables in the equation of speed :-)

He wants 500rwhp ALL MOTOR! More cubes is the only way. You can get close with AFR 205 heads and a big cam with ported Fast 90 intake, QTP LT headers, underdrive pulley etc...With that you could get close to 480 rwhp.

500 RWHP is old hat now-a-days. You won't have much torque if you don't stroke it though. I've got about 500/500 and its the perfectly tame, smooth idling, good gas mileage, daily driver.

To all you other ********* DUHHHHHHHHHH! i am not completly stupid i know that with that much power other stuff has to be upgraded. more cubes sounds good. i had been looking at some different stuff and and it did not sound so outrageous and had even had some others agree with me. to all you

On a stock LS1 block, 500rwhp is almost impossible to achieve on just motor. The most RWHP you can attain is around 440-450rwhp, and thats with some radical cam and heads, and EVERY bolt on. That atleast what seems to be the average norm based on many dyno sheets I have seen.

You'll need to swap out that engine for bigger cubes or just add on FI or nitrous.
