500-600 hp...... Is there a LS1 or LS6 based crate engine or engien package out there that can put out between 500-600 hp? I am looking towards a crate engine utilizing the C5-R block. But most importantly, I want the engine that is proven to be very reliable, I intend on driving this vehicle between 12,000 and 15,00o miles a year in traffic and on long trips. I do not wish to forced induction or nitrous. thanks for all the help.

Re: 500-600 hp...... is that rear wheel horse power??
there are plenty at that range running mid 500 ish at the flywheel.
lot to expect from a "race" engine with 600 rwhp and then to be run 15000 miles a year..

Re: 500-600 hp...... about 550 flywheel, sorry i didn't state this previously. I am wanting to know if any of the kits out there can hold up to 12,000 miles a year and long trips with traffic. I do understand that tuning and maintance play and important role. Would it be easy to get this much horsepower out os an ls6 with out nitrous, or forced induction? I am new to the V8 seen as I am used to driving around a dodge stealth, I just need some advise.

Re: 500-600 hp...... but 550 flywheel is gonna be about 450-475 on the wheel. thats is an esimate only.
lots of em around here with that and more. should be easy to achieve.
my opinion is to use a proven combo and you should be fine. minor maintenance might be needed.
and that is still alot of miles each year for a car of that caliber in my opinion.

Re: 500-600 hp...... the engine will go in a 2800 pound rx7 that will be street driven reguraly and I am hoping for high 10 sec 1/4 mile time slips. What kind of horsepower on drag radials would this need?
