Ultimately I'd like to be making in the 550hp range with an effective rev limit of around 6000-6200 rpm. A good sized roller and aluminum heads are definitely going to be necessary. Barring going in to debt to buy them, it'll take a bit to save up for those items.
Jason, Interesting your goal is exactly where I'm at today with my car. I run 3.73 Moser with 29" tires and my motor is built with rev limit at 6200. The numbers you're looking for will just get you into the high 12's at our altitude.
