Chea[est Way 2 500 hp

I'm looking to make 475-500 horsepower not on nitrious. Maybe some of you are making big numbers? Let's see what you've got.

Without juice or a built BB your not going to see 500hp cheap or easy. If you dont want N20 then your only other option is a super charger but the one that will do it is 3k alone not including the dual carbs that feed it or the at least 400 SBC to ride under the supercharger.

My SIG says it all!! but when u want those numbers you have to spend lot of money...no cheap way around it unless the parts are used or u have a sponser that helps out.

What sig?
I'm spending right around 5,250 bucks from carb to pan including machine work for a 355 that'll be pushing 475 to 500 hp. You can do it cheaper though if you get parts that work well together or find some good deals. About the only thing I'm reusing in my setup is the block, just about everything else I've bought new.
