how much hp if......

I'm thinking of dropping my twin turbos and going stroked out NA. Trying to keep the weight down for racing purposes. Anyways, I don't know what kind of stroker kits are out there but I would like to spend less than $3000 on the crank, rods, and pistons. I'm thinking 396ci with 11.5:1 cr. Along with that bottom end, probably going to go with AFR's 210cc LT4 heads, LT4 intake mani, 63-230/236-112 Comp cam, big tube headers, pretty much leaving nothing untouched. Would that be enough to bring me to 500rwhp or more?

If you just want 500 rwhp N/A w/ no nitrous or anything, you can pick up a rotating assembly for ~$1000.

Scat 9000 crank, Scat 4340 forged I-beams, and SRP Forged pistons is what I'm running.

Check out www.adperformance.com and shoot Brian an email/call.

It's not that I want 500rwhp, I want at least 500rwhp. If I can pick up more than 500, I'd be more than happy I don't really want the best money can buy, but I also don't want cheap parts that will just get me by. I want really good parts without sqeezing the last 10hp for $2000, if you know what I mean

It is not fact, but just my opinion that when you're shooting for the 500 rwhp mark, 10 HP for $2000 is what you'll be doing People are hitting 400+ fairly easy even on stock bottom ends. This going into a Mazda?!?!
