would anyone out there be as kind to list me the available options ?
is 800-900hp possible without changing the engines internals ? as much as i read the engine is capable of handling such power with ease? or is my info wrong?
and will the blower make my car change from a daily driver into something that will make me go  ? |

a friend of mine runs a custom fit blower on his 7.0 jeep srt8 and is dyno-ing 940HP on wheel so id imagine similar if not bigger numbers ?
isn't there something recommended for the 8.2 zz502's ? something tested and works for daily use ?

940 rwhp isn't going to happen with a crate 502 without some changes. Those motors aren't really built for big boost. That doesn't mean that you can't install a blower on one, you can. But your HP goals are way high for a crate motor to handle for any length of time. At the very least a drop in compression with blower pistons/rings, probably better rods or at least a rod bolt swap, blower cam with the correct spring swap in the heads. Not sure how good the heads are on those engines, at least on the exhaust side. For 900+ HP I would be swapping the heads also, actually I would build a forced induction engine from the beginning rather than trying to make a crate motor live at those power levels.
Now if you were looking for 650-700 hp that's a different story, but expecting 940 rwhp is asking too much of that engine in it's crate form.
