Your block will probably shouldn't have a problem with 500rwhp you may want to watch that rear end though. How many miles you got on it? Boosting the car with only about 8lbs shouldn't hurt it though. I know there is a twin turbo kit that is like 13 psi and it makes somewhere in the range of 505rwhp out of a ws6 six speed. Other people may be able to tell you more, but I hope this helps a little.
