That is a tough number to meet without either a larger engine or adding forced induction.

If your friend can lower his expectations, say to 430 - 440 RWHP, then heads, cam, EWP, UD pulley, long tube headers,…essentially all the bolt-ons, will get him there.

In any case, he will need an upgraded transmission and higher stall torque converter.

Good Luck,

Charlie

I’m with Charlie, that RWHP mark would be hard to hit without FI (nitrous or supercharger). Look at A&A supercharger kit (around $5000) and run it at 5-6 pounds. It should result in a streetable package that is safe.

Oh, that would get you the RWHP your looking for and you have lots of room for future growth.
