Default How can i get more power out of my all motor build?

I thought about a turbo but decided not to go with that idea. My Build list will be at the bottom of this post. How could i get high like 600+ hp from an all motor 360? Would it be possible without a stroker kit? If i can not achieve this power then ill just swap to a big block later when i blow the motor up LoL

Crank- Slightly better then stock that is all i know BUT NOT STOCK
Rods- Also Unknown but NOT stock
Pistons- 0.60 over hypertonic
Cam- 1.6 Valve Lift. Int .549 Exh .571 Duration 230,237 LSA 110
Heads- Elderbrock Performer RPM 6077 (have been ported out a good bit) https://www.edelbrock.com/rpm-small-...cam-60775.html
Springs- Build to match cam
Rockers- CraneCams 69-1.50 B -10
Intake - Elderbrock RPM Air Gap (Ported to match heads)
Holley 750 Cfm 4 Barrel Double Pumper with a eletric Choke
10:1 Compression I believe id have to recheck

You aren't going to get 600 useful horsepower out of a normally aspirated 360, regardless of what you do. It would need to be VERY high compression, and extremely radical cam, serious port work, etc. You might be able to manage it, but, it wouldn't be driveable on the street.... it likely wouldn't idle below 1500 RPM, and you would start getting into the power band until almost 4K RPM..... Tuning that motor with the stock system would be near impossible.

Okay thats what i figured. Cause ive seen 800hp 318s and 600hp 360 but rarely. Ill just have my fun with the motor and probably drop a 440 into it later down the road for the hell of it.

I could see a 360 surviving a 50 or 100 shot on occasion. Much more than that though.... maybe not.

Well when it comes time for a big block swap i will be sure to test out your theory with a 200 shot and hell if it survives ill run it that way

It will probably take it a few times, maybe even several times, but when it decides its had enough, it will be spectacular.

Still don't think one turbo or even better twins on it would be all that difficult with a carbed motor. Main problem would be all the plumbing. May consider a supercharger also but you have to do something with the high compression. .
