500 fwhp should be just fine with proper set-up including gearing and tires. Back when I first got my car, it had about 420 rwhp (on a Mustang dyno) which is about 500 at the flywheel. I had no tire spin at all in 1st gear as long as I rolled into (not stabbed) the throttle. The nice part about that hp level is you don't need a big cam to get there. The negative part is that eventually you may want more, lol.
Cheers.
