ive seen over 500rw on a very special c5z. the only stock bottom end c5 that ran into the 9's and i saw the passes 12/05/08 at atco. car is robz car done by anger management racing who also did my stock bottom a-4 that got me just under 490rw. real proof of real rwhp is the track time slip as it tells you how much power your putting to the ground. dyno great for bragging garage queen rights and tuning other than that lets see ya run that 600rw at the track for the real deal.

Want vs. Need
What do you want this car to do? DD? Bragging rights at the cruise-in spot? Your budget and expectations do not match. As well as all the parts you'll be breaking with the added power. Know what you want, get what you need.

Have you ever driven a vette with 600rwhp. Do you even know that's what you need. Is this just a random number out of nowhere. 450rwhp is more than enough for most street cars, and attainable N/A with an LS1. Figure out your goals for the car first, then go after a build plan. With anything close to 600rwhp, the drivetrain mods alone to keep it all together will be costly. Also consider bigger tires in the back, because traction will become an issue and a hazzard to you, when you start getting into the higher hp ranges. You aren't going to put any of that power to the ground with factory sized rear rubber, even if they are mounted on 10.5 sized rims.
