If you are serious about such a setup then you need to decide the route and use of the vehicle.
There is no one best way of approaching it, hell there probably aren't even 5 best ways of getting to 600rwhp. There are loads.
If your not at the track I assume its street racing? In that case why no nitrous?
A good nitrous setup can get you a lot of HP fairly saflley, well as safe as any other method.
Budget setup:
-bolt on's
-wild cam
-150-200 shot
Potentially you could be seeing 550-620rwhp with such a setup and it really won't be that expensive, but over time expect things to break.
Building a fully built sorted car will cost a lot of money, as it will with pretty much any setup. A fast car is so much more than just a rwhp figure.
If you have some cash to spend, then forged the stock long block and add either a blower or a turbo. The STS rear mount turbo's are pretty cheap, this way you should quite easily be able to exceed 600rwhp with saftey. Many run this level of HP on stock internals, but again expect it break - it will be a matter of when not if.
-n/a
-big displacement
-nitrous
-FI
-or a combination of some/all of the above
An alternative is a different car, a 03/4 Cobra is a good basis. Just a few bolt on's and a swap to a twin screw blower and a reliable 600-650rwhp can be had. Easy and mod for mod a lot cheaper. However a Terminator will cost you more to buy.
