Want to build a 500 HP LT1

Looking for suggestions on how to build up my LT1. Aiming for 500 HP, without forced induction. This car will be see very little track time, and will be mainly used on the street, and at shows.
I'm thinking 383 stroker kit along with some ported heads/intake with a nice cam can get me there, but I'm honestly not the most knowledgeable about which combo of cam/intake/heads/etc. will get me there. Any input you guys may have would be great.
This build will be from an existing LT1, so a new block is not necessary. Again, no forced induction, and a I'm leaning towards making more low-RPM power as opposed to a high-revving motor.
cheers!

you can achieve 500 HP at the crank with just doing a good top end (heads, cam, intake)...with a stroker motor, it just makes it easier (allows you to go to higher RPM's and get even more out of the top end)
either way...
500 Flywheel HP=a WELL THOUGHT OUT AND RESEARCHED heads, cam, intake
500 Wheel HP= the above, plus a stroker bottom end (probably forged) so you can spin it up in the 7,000 range for rpm's...
it's even easier if you count Nitrous as a N/A motor...

500 Hp at the rear wheels is what I'm aiming for.
I plan on keeping the M6 and stock rear end (for now). As far as budget goes, I'm not sure what I'll be spending, just because I haven't priced out this build yet, but I'd imagine it would be in the $5K range, and that's no problem.
