Reaching 600hp without blower?

I'm not an expert on cars by any means but I know my way around them a little bit. I was wondering if it's possible to reach 600 RWHP without the use of a blower on the LS3. The only rules are you have to use the LS3 and you cant put a turbo or supercharger on it. What is the max horsepower you guys think can be achieved at the wheels?

Edit: no nitrous and running premium pump gas

Getting there should not be an issue, getting there cheaply and with a car you would want to drive anywhere would be the challenge.

I pretty much just did most of that except bore... didn't quite get to 500. Don't really have a daily driver anymore either...

100hp is about all you can hope for with heads and cam combo.
Also add a pulley to that list.

It's all a question of $$. Is this just a "can it be done" thread or are you really going to attempt it?

Stroke it out to a 419, throw compression, larger valves/ head work/ high lift cam and tight separation, run E85 and you can do it with out spending 25k.
