Low 500's are pretty easy. towards 600 take more work. Give me info as to what this setup is for. big difference with daily driver or track only as to how aggressive you can be with everything. In a nutshell you'll want a fast intake, either 92 or 102 depending on which heads you choose. Heads will want to be at least 225's. get a builder to spec you out a cam based on the setup.

The engine will be going into a 69 Camaro as a street/strip built car more street. Havent really decided between 6 speed Manual or Auto yet leaning more to the manual...rearend will be a 9" but as far as gears I havent decided between 373s or 410s

It looks like many of the L92 cars are making 500 hp with nice torque curves as well. You can use a 6.2 block and make a nice engine.

Yep, 500 is easy to attain 600 takes more work.
We can set you up with a complete long block spec'ed out to your car's weight and needs. In the 550 range with a hydraulic roller and TFS 235 heads.
