Spend the money on a good rotating assembly from someone like Eagle or Scat.
As far as cams....pick a manufacturer like Crane or Comp and call them with all of your other engine specs and let them know what you're after with power and engine characteristics and they will help you pick the appropriate cam.
For 500 horse you probably don't need the biggest carb out there.....maybe a good 750 or 800cfm unit...again the manufacturer should be able to help you pick the right size.

OK, I am already looking at Scat stuff, might mix and match. I can't justify the price of the forged stuff for a mainly street motor. If I do go forged it will just be the crank. Some of the engine gurus over on TGO have said on some threads that a 750 carb should easily do the trick. I know shipping might kill some of the prices, but I've been watching for a once piece RMS block or short block that doesn't need too much work (I saw the 400 dollar one that wasn't stored right, don't think I want to go there) and the best I've found was a 2 piece RMS motor with a blown head gasket. Would need to strip it down and redo most of it anyway. I'll sit down and do up the list, and you guys can tell me what you think.
