Thread: cheapest way to 500+hp

Tweet

500HP? Easy. Take one 307olds/305chevy/350 chevy. Add up total Hp(140, 135 and 200, give or take) Subtract the hp rating from 500 and add that much nitrous. Collect rods scattered across track and smile that for 1 brief second you had 500HP

And as I recall, it comes from the factory with water injection so it will probably run on pump gas.

Looks kinda like we're drifting away from the question again.......

4 bolt block crank and rods,400 block .030 ,decked to 9.000,all oil galleys ported,casting deflashed and all internal corners blended ,pistons,custom or kb 128 ,10.1:1,reground stock crank or scat cast steel,balance the assembly,rods modified olds diesel or scat 6 inch ,balanced on a rod fixture.oil pump ,stock reworked ,pan moroso ,comp cams 12-502-5,solid lifters, magnum rockers 1.6 intake ,1.5 exaust ,heads 041s full port 178cc ,255cfm @600 lift ,bronze guides ,2.02 ,1.6 valves ,30 degree on the intake ,then angle mill the heads to 58 ccs,ported vic jr intake ,reworked 850 with annular boosters ,stock hei with race coil and module,,1 3/4 headers.,475 torque @ 3500 496 hp @5800 2,132 ,labor 615 ,total $2747 This the street version ,not the strip!!

Ok this is the build up I have going on right now sbc355, 12:1 Compression Ratio, Sportsman2 cast iron heads, I am using a Super Victor but you could use a Victo Jr only diffrence is rpm, demon 850 carburetor, ARP main and rod bolts and ARP head bolts to also a custom Chet Herbert Solid Camshaft but you coud use a Hydrolic Camshaft my crank and rods and pistons are forged but to save money if there is not going to be a power adder you could use stock crank, rod's and a Hypereutectic Piston but I would go Forged piston better in the long run!

ive got a 71 nova it had a stock 350 in it...if i were you ...i put vortec cast iron heads and a high rise intake manifold with no nos thats all ive done and it dynoed at 458hp...run that with some nos and ur good to go
