Are you building a $50K chassis to handle that power? Are there roads straight enough in NZ to open it up all the way on? The normally aspirated LS3 has no problem besting 500HP. I would spend money on a forged rotating assembly, better valve train for long term reliability myself. Maybe you need to go for a ride in a LS3 Holden first.....then decide. Without active handling/driving aids a 500HP LS can be quite a handful and will run 11 second 1/4 mile times.
