500 hp N/A?? Well, I guess it can be done, but I wouldn't expect any kind of
streetability out of a Magnum-injected 500hp N/A engine. It'll invlove a BIG
cam and some serious head/port work and some high compression
pistons/chambers. Probably enough such that the vacuum levels/idle
quality/part throttle fuel map maybe beyond the capabilities of a
stock-style injection setup. Now, 400-425hp N/A can be done and with the
right igniton retard and nitrous mastermind, you could probably spray a 100
shot,maybe even a 125 shot on it to develop as much as 550 hp. As for the
dude with the T/A, if he's just now at 13.4, he's got lots of room left for
improvement before he goes internal, so watch out!

does anybody have any idea of what junkyard 360's are goin for these days?
im thinkin about the 408 now and dont wanna use the 360 in the r/t in case
it needs to go back to stock someday. lookin to get 500hp outta a 408 and
then run a 100 shot of nitrous. i think that should be enough to take care
of the t/a's :-)
