Question LQ4 Build?

Hey guys, new to this site, but i have found its a wealth of info for us old school guys looking to put new school HP in there rides. I'm gearing up to do a LS swap in my chevelle. My plan is to do n LQ4/L92 heads/L76 intake build. My question is; Can i pull 500hp from this build? Whats the best cam to put in to reach my goal? What accessory drive can i use to get ride of the truck accessory. I like the lower mount alternator and seems the car type water pump is a must as well. Help me out.

Those are my same plans. I'm leaning towards LS2 accesories & TB. I'm curious as well on the HP numbers.

I guess no one on here has done a LQ4/L92/L76 build.

Im sure its been done, but I think guys just arent responding cuz they want people to do some reading around the site or something. I am in the same boat as you except Im gonna put a FAST 102/102 on cuz my LQ4 will be a 402 one day and see mostly 1/4" mile full throttle drives with about a 250 shot of juice. Im still not 100% sure about using the L92 heads tho.
