There are two main things that will keep you quite far away from your 500 to 550 hp goal.
1) that Cam is too small.
2) both the 5C and the 6X heads only flow enough to allow a 400 , 428 or 455 motor to top out at 450 hp, and even getting that with stock heads is not a walk in the park!
Both of those heads that in stock form top out Intake flow wise at 205 to 212 cfm and you will need the heads to be ported into the 270 cfm range to make 550 hp with a livable street Cam.
No, with your newc lighter rod's and Pistons will not need steel main caps at the 550 hp level if you take the time to polish over all the sharp edges they have but for the Bearing parting lines.
