Stock longblock, a good intake, you'll need some good fuel upgrades and swoop on a On3 kit.

Stock block ~500 rwhp N that's pushing it. Good H/C/I with stock bottom end I'd say around 12-15 PSI would get you to 500

Need something like this but with smaller headers and smaller crossover, and it will take you farther than your stock block can handle
