500 will be tough with a small bore motor...Na anyway.. Might wanna look into a stroker motor. 408's seem to be a popular budget build.

I agree that 500 n/a at the tires is a bit ambitious..but not impossible. 400-425 rwhp is a more realistic goal for a typical hot LS1 with every bolt-on.

Here is a thread to read and maybe follow to give you some food for thought. It's in a Camaro but the goal is about the same.

Good luck on your project.
