500's yer gonna whoop up on corvettes not ricers. lol.

High horsepower 500's is gonna require an engine build, that gets very pricey. First off, you need the equipment to achieve those levels, ie, big boost. That will cost ya pretty good right there, im estimating here but im figuring at least 6-7 grand.... yer gonna need either a twin turbo setup or a supercharger, and not something crappy either yer gonna want high quality so you dont destroy anything.

. Then to be able to hang 500's reliable you will need to drop 4-5 grand on getting the engine built. And im pretty sure you will need a rear end overhaul

that gets a bit far out from my experience, im sure some people here can chime in.

think of this, Cobra Terminators are rated at 390hp, and they destroy most imports.

A good goal may be in the 350-375 range on whp, yer gonna have plenty of torque, and you wont have to promise your first born to satan to afford it.
