Cheaply? No idea, but if you want to do it in style...

I have a nice MSD distributor that could help. If you’re Cleveland/Modified or Big Block powered.
600 is a lofty goal. How fast do you really want it to go?

It’d take more than just power to match the hellcat, but it can be done
You’d need a locking rear end carrier and higher spline axle shafts. Depending on where you want to shift is what your rear end ratio will be
You’d also need to swap in a C6 trans if you don’t already have one. Higher stall, shift kit, stronger clutch pack, valvebody updates, and whatever other internal mods it will need (I’m not really familiar). You’d also need to update the governor and modulator for your new rear end ratio. You’d also need a good shifter if you went with a manual valvebody
Potential bracing / new control arms as well to handle hard launchs and frame twist.
Also rubber, need a lot of that
It’s doable and way cheaper than buying a hellcat, but it still takes effort

I knew it would take effort also it has the C6 it was born with. and a Ford 9in out back.

The 9 inch is probably 28 spline if I had to guess. You’d need 31 splines minimum. The for Traction Lock is also weak, you’d need a Detroit
The C6 would need a total overhaul, kevlar band, maybe a thinner pressure plate so you can get even more clutches in there
Let’s say you’d have more fun for your money building it to 400 HP. It’s a price/durability threshold

To beat a hellcat yes, but to build and handle 600hp for the street, na. The hp is almost trivial the lower will handle it, and it won’t really need a cam so it’s pretty streetable. 600hp doesn’t hit that hard honestly so I’m not sure any chassis or suspension mods are necessary. It’ll be traction limited so it’s not gonna twist the frame. If it’s not built as a drag car that you can drive to the track, but a street car that’s fun at the track it doesn’t need all that much work. But you won’t be beating any hellcats.

Cam, heads, exhaust, spray, and methanol should get you close for under $2,500.
‘Course then you’d still need tires, wheels, springs, shocks, trans, axles, and a diff to go fast.

The Trans and Axel are fine atm, Spray is a no go. meth is also no. I could stroke the sht out of it though and get some nice aluminum heads on it.
