    BTD stole my answer ...... What have you got and what are you willing to purchase to achieve those numbers?
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

    well I have what I have in my signature. Now the thing that has come about this evening is I can swap for a 454, nice motor but mild cam 4 barrel only. I want 500 hp in my 97 s10, but I think the BB will get me cheaper and faster. Comments?

    First you need 10.5 to 1,then you need a hyd. roller that has 240 or more at .050,good alu. cylinder heads that flow 280+ in the .550 to .600 lift area,Victor intake with a flowed 650 carb or a 750 carb.
    This should be enough to put you in the 500 to 510 area with a good tune.

    I don,t know what you are putting it in but better stay with 383 if it,s in s-10 the bbc(454) just is gonna be hard without a torch to put in s10 also gonna take MONEY to get 500hp (of course anything is possible)
    I just wonder what happened to GOVERNMENT of the people by the people for the people?

    well I have a great flame wrench, but I think the thing I'm finding out is how hard it is to find a reasonably priced header for that application. Then again I'm itching to see what that 496 feels like under my butt.
