I don't know a damn thing about 600hp setups, but people have had luck just shimming the stockers.

To add to the list given of what's needed, add a well built engine. You can't count on much more than 400hp on a good tune (from what everybody seems to be able to get away with) on a stock bottom end. The best way to think of the goal you've set is to plan on replacing better than half of the functional parts of your car. It's quite a goal.

Is that more helpful?

And don't be insulted by everyone's anger over this thread. You may not realise it, but you're posts give away an ignorance that will not allow you to meet your goals, yet. Hence the recomendations to set them a little lower. Set a goal of 300-350hp. The steps you'll take to get there will give you a lot of the knowledge you'll need to go higher. What you need to know to hit 600hp reliably is not the type of info you can gain by asking 'what do I need' on a forum.
