How many miles are on your car? In its life, has the oil been changed regularly? How many times has the car been overheated?
Point is, unless you rebuild the motor you don't know what you have. A freshly rebuilt 7m probably could handle 550rwhp (with a good tune) but one with 130,000 miles probably won't last long. If you want big power make sure you have money to rebuild the engine after you blow up your hi mileage motor.
Getting to 500hp is easy, making it last is where you'll spend most of your money.
But hey, what do i know...
