Can anybody give some suggestions on how to get 500rwhp without NOS and on somewhat of a budget? I know parts for vettes are not cheap but the least exspensive way is what im looking for if there is one.

Theres a few ways I can suggest. Look around for a used supercharger. A head and cam package with headers and exhaust. Even these parts if you look hard enough you might find a good deal on used set. Ebay and Craigslist are good source. What sort of budget are you working with?

I bought a used Maggie, and am at about 485RWHP and 495RWTQ ... And even though I got a great deal on the supercharger and the other accessories, it really wouldn't be considered a budget job, from start to finish the money I have in it, but it will get you what you wanted with out a bottle, and looks killer as can be too.

Used maggie or procharger will get you pretty close to what you are looking for.

:iagree: also head and cam might get the job done.

You might want to add headers, a good CAI with the head and cam package.

If you don't mind me asking where did you find a used one?

500 rwhp will cost you at least 6k. You can go with a huge cam and stage 3 heads and get close but drivability will SUCK. A stroker is fun and a Procharged stroker is dangerous.
