I'm surprised nobody has suggested some kind of forced induction.
8:1, F1 ProCharger and alcohol injection should give you an easy 650hp on pump gas with a very mild cam and nice driveability.
Cause its not cheap, needs to fit the engine bay, and then the rest of the vehicle has to survive it. Not to mention he wanted to stay with a stock style hemi from what I read above...I looked at doing it with mine.
484 cubes, 8.5:1 compression, F1-R procharger, 400cfm head flow, 10-12psi boost puts me at over 1200hp, and they said that was de-tuning it considering my heads....My car won't survive 1200hp in its current state. Its twisting all over the place with the 780hp I already have...And besides, I can go all aluminum hemi with 604 cubes and probably go just as fast and still be having fun...The 600 cube hemi's I have seen look like a lot of fun to drive and guys are flying with them. One in particular I saw this summer sticks in my head. It was done by FHO, and it sounded awesome. Not that a procharged engine doesn't, but you could tell something was different about this one.

I have seen some of the stock stroke hemis run pretty hard, but it takes a little work, and you have to be willing to live with it. I drove mine at nearly 600hp for about 4-5 years, and the stroker is night and day difference. It does go thru more fuel than my old hemi, but wow.
