500 hp redtop

hi everyone, i'm new to the site and i need some advice. I've got big plans for an sr20det redtop build. I've been looking up the tomei neo arms kit and idk if i'd be able to get that power with that kit. What are the requirements to achieve 500 hp mark? Sorry for being a noob about 240's.

i've got some parts down my list and feel free to cross out or add in some.

- tomei stroker (2.2L)
- gt35 56 trim BB by garrett
- power fc
-tomei valve springs and valves
-tomei cams (pro cam)

My best advice...for as much money you'd have to throw to make this 500hp pipe dream a reality...don't go SR. Spend the money on an RB25/26, 2JZ or even a LSx swap. Go big or go home...

A 500hp SR would be no fun.

5500rpm of spooling, 1000rpm of actual power...

Lol, obviously im exaggerating a little bit. The point i was making was that to attain 500hp from a 2 liter 4 cylinder will give you a ridiculously unusable powerband. You can get it to PEAK at 500hp, but who cares about peak HP when youre still getting walked by 350whp LS1's? The point i'm making is that high horsepower doesnt necessarily equal a fast car. If youre only making that 500hp in 10% of your rev range, the car is still going to be slower than something making less power, but in a BROADER range.

Useable power > High HP dyno numbers.

If I was looking at two identical cars for sale, one with a 350whp SR and one with a 500whp SR, practically speaking- id rather have the 350whp. Id rather be able to tap into my power under normal driving conditions, rather than having to rev the piss out of it to make it go. Not to mention the 500hp SR is gonna be a DOG under normal driving conditions (read: when not in boost).

I cant 100 percent agree with this statement, Ross Petty's sr makes 586whp and im willing to bet that his car along many other sr's i have seen over the 500hp is a hell of a lot of fun to drive

ofcourse this car has had a considerable amount work done to it with a very high price tag, but if you got the money to do it right a 500hp sr would be very enjoyable

Don't know for sure ^^

But it seems like shooting for 500 on the SR is pointless. If you are going big, do as they say. RB or LS. Now, if you find that your budget will not allow that, then a 350-400 hp SR might be right for you. Are you planning on competing with this car or simply driving around on the weekends and showing off?

OP, that power range is better suited for a larger engine. as others have said, rb or ls would be the way to go.

and 500 sounds a bit arbitrary. i too am a newb, but I can at least admit that I dont even know the difference between 350, 450, or 500 hp. my fastest car was an rb swapped hatch, and i dont know the numbers it pulled but I can say it was damn fast. it was stock so it couldnt have been doing more than 270 to the wheels. 500 though...thats just retarted unless you have some specific application.

500hp is what you need to power an s-chassis into space.
