Want to make 550 rwhp

I have done a lot of modification to my car already. I want to
Make more horsepower than what I already have. I want it to be all motor though. Any suggestions on what else I need to do to get to that number? These are the mods my car has already.
- stageII cams
- 1 7/8 kooks headers
- muffker delete
- fast intake manifold
- cai intake
- ported trottle body
- ati under drive pully
- cat converter delete
- dyno jet tune

The car did 498 rwhp at the dyno and 460 torque

Only thing I see left is ported heads but that still wouldn't get you too 550. I personally haven't seen anyone hit 550 Na. Forced Air or Nitrous will be your only options if your dead set on that number. But remember it's just a dyno number which is basically just bragging rights. All about how it performs.

Couple choices (some Options combined)
-Bigger cam
-Ported heads or after market heads
-Port your Fast Intake
-Stroke/ Bore engine ( more CI)
- 50-75 Shot N2O ( not all motor tho) cheapest way to reach goal
- Blower/ Turbo ( not all motor either) but will surpass your goal

Just keep in mind, some options will hurt your drivability... Good luck

Getting an exhaust/ removing cats will only get you probably only enough HP to break 500rwhp but not 550rwhp..just like ^^ said, it's not all about xxx HP but how to get it to the ground and still feel comfortable driving.

50-75 shot should be enough with proper supporting mods "Kit" ( fuel, plugs, injectors, etc)

Me plan is to change the axles, get bigger gears whatever else is needed to build my rear end. Once that's done I want to make that mark or if higher even better

Do you have any idea around how much is that with bigger injectors, plugs in the end? Maybe 2000?

To be honest tho, 500rwhp N/A car should be a fun ride...cause to do all that work for 50hp isn't worth the money ( personal opinion), you will get bored real quick... Just save money and try Boost or big shot N2O (150-200) just my 2 cents..

Yea that's sounds about right... Maybe try focusing on suspension work, wheels/ tires, losing weight, to make the car feel a little quicker on its feet

What type
Of
Suspension work do you suggest? About wheels in deciding on whether going nittos or Mickey thompson? Rims I ordered the new mrr 228 but they are not a big difference in weight as my stock rims just about 10 lbs lighter in total on all four

I agree just I want the car to last a long time and I feel putting that high of a boost might damage the car a lot
Sooner than what i plan to keep it.
