I agree with the tires, but won't count that in here as I don't need the tires to make 500rwhp, but should have it to be able to use them
What is the cost for clutch and Uprev ??
HR head studs should hold 500hp

Yes, the HR head studs and head gaskets should hold 500 hp.
Clutch will be north of $1k. You might be able to find a used exhaust system, but that will likely run $700 or more. Injectors, probably at least 600 cc. I'm guessing even a used set will run at least $600, but I have not looked into this lately.
Check Uprev's site for the current pricing.
If you can do your own welding and fab your own turbo piping, that will certainly help.

If anyone has dyno numbers using this turbo on a 3.5L motor, please post them.

I looked up the Holset HX40. I don't know anything about that particular turbo, but according to the following link, it is good to 350 hp on a 7-10 L motor. My gut instinct is that the trim values will not be well optimized for a 3.5L motor.

a quick fact about the hx40: "60mm compressor inducer. This compressor flows around 69lb/min"

The actual boost level that you need will vary depending on your supporting mods, but figure at least 12 psi (.83 bar) of boost, which is a 1.83 pressure ratio. With stock cams, this likely will be higher. You need to flow about 28.5 lb/min. out of each turbo. I would go with GT28 or equivalent turbos.

Rmember thats HP, those trucks put out enormous amounts of torque and only reving max 2500rpm, DSM guys have been using them for a long time with much success, I have been using it for a while as well as the smaller hx35 version, there are guys even with less displacement than 3.5L in the 600hp range with the hx40 turbo, I made 380whp at 10psi on my vq35de(hx40, auto, 8.8:1 compression and no VCT). We also dyno'ed another vq35de with the hx35 at 10psi (stock compression and no VCT) and put out about 375 or so.
Nonetheless, considering the cost you indicated, it seems like a reasonable option for a low cost build. I think a fairly large intercooler and/or water/meth injection would be very helpful to try to get to 500 whp. Remember, high AIT's make the motor more prone to detonation.

If it took 10 psi to get to 380 whp, the air intake temp (AIT) is a little high, meaning that the turbo is not running very efficient. This is likely due to the trim value being selected for the larger motor.

Notice I put no VCT, I have VQ30 timing sprockets/chains, lower compression than stock, automatic.

I hope I can pair them up with some $400 GodSpeed 18G turbos for $400 each, so then I have this list
APS manifolds $500
Turbo's $800
600cc injectors $300
More to come

For reference, with my Greddy kit I made 550+ whp at 13.5 psi on a Mustang dyno. Below is the dyno plot. A couple of notes: it weather corrected up to 584 whp. The boost controller was set at 14 psi, but actual boost measured 13.5. Of course, I had supporting mods.

I fried the clutchplates launching hard at 15.5 psi of boost. I replaced it with an Carbonetics tripple disk.

Actually I might have mentioned something about these turbos on your compound setup thread(or at least thought about it). There are many variations of these turbos, hx30, hx35, hy35, hx40, hx50, hx52, etc.., look into them, they are great man. anyway lets not fill the OP's thread with offtopic stuff lol
