Im looking to build a 500 hp 3800 for my gtp. Is it possible? What would you use. Mine now is 300hp but i want more

One word...turbo.

Is it possible to keep it streetable with this kind of power? Probably not. But if that's your goal, I wish you good luck!

turbo/intercool set up my brother...500 is very attainable with that

If you would, please list your mods as of now.

Everybody is going come in here and give you their opinion, most are gonna say go turbo. I'm going to say, save your money and get an LS car.

On top of the turbo kit/intercooler you will need injectors, tune, and a cam. If you are planning to put down that much power you will want to look at getting a built trans. Here's the break down if you install parts:
Used turbo kit/IC-2K+
Cam and install parts-$1000
Injectors-$200ish
Tune-$500 unless tuning yourself then it's probably about half(pay for tuner)

So now you have just spent about $3700 of your hard earned cash, but wait you need a transmission to take the abuse:

Built trans-2K-$2500- that's without a 1" chain

Sweet, now you are at $5700 but what if I want to go even further and get that 1" chain:

1" chain-$1500-$2000

Know you are getting there:
total now is a mere $7700

So now the power is there, but what am I going to do to put it to the ground let alone stop the pig with that much power:
brakes/suspension-$700 (light estimate)

So now you are at roughly $8400 in mods and have spent twice or more than likely 3X the value of the car.

In all seriousness though I'm just making a point about how expensive it is. However, if you are willing to spend the coin it makes for one fun and unique ride. The pull of a turbo car throughout the powerband and in the upper RPM's is a night and day difference compared to the S/C. If I did it all over again I would still slap a turbo kit on my GP. It's by far the best mod I did. Plus there's nothing cooler than hearing the turbo spool and the wtf looks you get.
