I'm starting to build my an ly6 and was wondering if 500 rwhp even possible with bolt ons, cam, and ported & polished heads. What are you v max guys running hp wise and with what mods? Thanks. Oh an would like to stay N/A so don't start with the fi or nos bits. Appreciate the help guys.

I would think its possible but it would have to be an extreme combination, that might not be much fun on the street. High compression, large cam, great flowing heads, and aftermarket intake manifold/throttle body would get you close. Are you going to bring it to the track?

You might not like 500RWHP N/A on a daily driver in your truck.

450RWHP or mid 400's would not be that hard at all to achieve though.

Just my opinion on this. Sure you can probably do it but it may come at a cost... More than likely you will have to shift way up high... Both the TQ and HP curve would shift to higher RPMs... IMO 400-425 would be alot funner and have alot more power under the curve..
