I don't think that is too bad,especially with the strong bottom end it is going to have with the 4bolt block and forged parts.Also nice set of heads and top end parts to get you over 500hp n/a.

That's not too bad... slide a XE284H in it, put a Performer RPM and a Holley 750 on it, and a set of good headers, you should be pretty close to 500 HP.
