How do I get 500 to 600 HP

[IceMan]

I got a rebuilt 30 over 440 short block when I got my charger for fathers day. The question I have is how do I get 500 to 600 hp out of it and still run it on pump gas with out changing out the pistons. The pistons are sealed power 424p .030 's they are only 8:0:1 compression.

Thanks

a 250 shot of nitrous???

a supercharger would help, especially with that compression you got it would be perfect for supercharger

Any way to get the compression up. All thats in the motor is the pistons and crack and the oil pan. Theres no cam or nothing. What would be a good setup for it.

An 8:1 440 won't be anywhere near 500hp, even with a set of trick aluminum heads. If you're intent on makeing 600hp with a low compression 440 ; your best option is gonna be a power adder (nitrous/supercharger).

If you're looking to do it on all motor; a veeeery high strung 440 or a moderately built 440 stroker will get to that power level. Both will require an aftrmarket aluminum head casting and all the related support components.

OK thanks for all the input and help. Guess I'll just get a mild cam a Aluminum intake and put it together and get out of it what I can.

Thanks again.
