big turbo, air intake, big exhaust, hybrid injectors, big high pressure oil system, for an all motor set-up
you could run stage 2 injectors, intake, exhaust, big turbo, super duty oil pump, and spray it with nitrous or propane to get to 500 and see mid to upper 4's on motor.
remember though, 500 rwhp is actually almost 600 flywheel, autos take a good 75-80 horses to turn in our trucks, sticks are..............i think 40 or 50, when you approach 500 wheel horse power you need to get into internal engine upgrades inorder to keep the block together

headstuds
fuel system
custom tuning
modified h2e

Those are the main things you need. Probably wouldnt hurt while you in doing studs and injectors to also upgrade the valve springs. With the parts i listed ive done well over 500 on fuel.
