LQ9 vs LQ4

[RedHeartbeat]

Well, name the parts to achieve 500 RWHP naturally aspirated. 408 shortblock, ARP225 mongoose heads ported and polished, long tube headers, Victor Jr intake, Fuel rails, 60# injectors, fuel elbow, throttle body, external fuel pump(aeromotive type), electric street model water pump....what am I missing here?

What would the dollar figures be to buy all that?

i would assume that you wouldn&#39;t need a 408 shortblock at all...on the stock lq9 i was thinking a nice heads/cam/intake package will get ya really close...(within 15 hp) the 225cc AFR heads, a FAST or LS6 intake, a custom cam, and a really good street tune...i&#39;ve seen it done on stock displacement LS1&#39;s alreayd, and figured it would be just as easy, if not easier, with the larger displacement of the LQ9...
