Default 500 plus lq4?

Hey guys. I just finished up my build of a mud truck. I have a lq4 for a heart beat going thru a 3200 stall th400. It has upgraded injectors and the truck intake along with a hot cam and a performance tune. It works great but I'm looking for more hp! I'm looking to hit no less than 500. What's the best way to go about this keeping in mind that money doesn't grow on trees! Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Ya I'm leaning more towards a turbo setup. I live in A small town with not many engine shops. Let alone shops that have done many turbo builds. Getting a good tune could be an issue.

There's No replacement for displacement, plus mud + Turbo/blower equals bad news and wasted money, no matter how well protected it is, mud always finds ways into interesting places. I'm not a fan on N20 but that would be your most reliable power added as it is "sealed" from the elements. And probably cheapest too
