98 chevy silverado 5.7 liter starting project

[Monsterkicks]

I need some ideas on how to make this truck scream. Id like to see it pull 500 plus horse. Where should I begin first?

What's your budget?

30k to start.

LS swap then, don't even bother getting started with the vortec. The manifold setup will limit you. You will save money an have a more stockish/reliable engine at that power level with an LS.

30k sell the truck and buy a 70 chevelle or a hemi cuda

People have been telling me to go with the LS swap. What would be my next step, supercharge it?

LQ9, single t76 turbo, downpipe out the side of the fender like a badass, built 4l80E, built 14bolt with 4.10's. and some 29x10.5 MT Street ET's. Also a rear 4 link to keep it on the ground.

A 6.0 with a cam, head work nice exhaust an a good tune an your probably over 500 hp right there, nothing crazy needed at all....

You only want 500 ponies and you've got a budget of 30k?

I'm looking at a $2000 sound system, 6 inch bds suspension with all included, 3 inch body lift?, for 40 to 44 inch tires or whatever I can fit. What else should I do to get more than 500hp? I'm Lookin for different ideas
