360 La build ideas!

Well I think i have the funds to do it and I get a good deal on parts. I just wanted ideas even just combinations to cheap builds that will make good power. I mean i want 500 to the tires but like i said i don't know how realistic it is since i've never built a motor to make power. I have enough experience to put the whole thing together as I rebuilt the stock motor thats in it. I just want to make enough to stand a chance against the kids my age with stock 4 bangers with giant turbo's on em!

Do you know what 500 horse power to the ground really even feels like, or are you simply spouting things you heard and read?

You would be surprised what an honest 300 flywheel horse power will do in a light car with the right converter, transmission and gear.
