Money is the only thing stopping you pimp, HPE (Home of the world's baddest LT1) has a "Big Boy" engine package. It is a duplicate of Big Ricks setup, minus the turbo but motor wise they offer any CR you want, I think it starts out at like 5k-7k. If you are on a smaller scale budget a built 396 NA you should be able to get 450+rwhp. A good set of heads and a good cam will be necessary.

plus to convert to LS1 base is such a pain and for the money that you will spend to convert you would have already hit your power goal with the LT1

you can get easily 450rwhp on 383 N/A,396 you can go a bit higher
396 forged low compression with Good heads and the wright cam for Turbo you can go over 1000rwhp

i made 691 rwhp but that was through a TH400, 4800 stall (non lockup ofcourse), steel driveshaft for drag racing, Moser rear with 4.11 gear, and 28" m/t drag tire at 15 psi of pressure. its easily 850 hp at the motor.
no nitrous, street car 100%
Vortech YSi 383LT1 motor.
nothing special about my motor. in fact, the motor is pretty much a budget buildup!

If gas and emissions are no concern, then the sky is the limits, you need to set your terms, I know you want 600-700 rwhp, but there limiting factors.
Gas
Emissions
Driveability
Most of these things at that power range become a moot point, but I am looking at high 500's through a emission passable setup and a auto with 2500 stall, 3" steel ds and moser 12 bolt

The motor is a Lunati crank/rods, Diamond pistons, N/A 383 w/ AFR 220cc heads and comp solid roller. We've got a few bugs to work out of the setup and we're hoping for around 485-490rwhp when it is all said and done. This is through hooker 1 3/4 longtubes, LT4 intake, and stock computer, 93octane. Building a 500rwhp is definitely possible if you plan ahead and take your time matching the appropriate parts. There's obviously some tricks to building these motors and getting the extra HP as well. If you drove this car, other than the distinct solid roller sound, it idles, cruises, and drives really good. Makes power to 7000rpm and over 400 rwtq at 4000rpm and above.

Hear ye, hear ye:It has been judged that you should be taken out and whipped with a fuel return line for uttering that silly ricer term!

IMHO. Nitrous/NoS/oxide/juice = good 
: NAWZ = bad 
. Just for that you should be made to watch BOTH TFATF & 2F2F untill you 
Besides that I just wanted to use a bunch of smilies
