If you are searching for 500hp and don't have the money to build an all forged rotating assembly how do you plan to come up with the funds to buy the SC or do you have that budgeted already?
A decent turbo kit, if you can piece it together yourself, will run $1500 to $2k. A SC whether it's roots, screw or centrifugal will most likely be more, unless you find a used kit.

No reason you can't get 500 hp out of a stout N/A sbc. You could have a high 12 sec truck with the short block you already have.
