Good luck bro with the build. I'll see you on the other side soon! My project will be revealed soon. If I were you though I would go with a Larger turbo like the Garret GT35R. Nice sized 2.4 (or if its bored) will have a decent spool time. Not to mention the huge power curve 
Its what I am building my whole set-up around. Second thing is the intake manifold in which I hope you are changing due to the fact that its plastic and pretty restricted at those power levels. I'll have a custom full Aluminum Intake manifold with some nice runners and a Equal length manifold as well. Just wanted to tip you off before you run into the small road blocks I did.
BTW try and score some axles somewhere. I was lucky to get a set off Leslie Dursts drag tC. Stock axles are pretty solid for stock( not hollow) but obviously not made for those power levels. Good luck again!

Wow, that is awesome. I know you want to do a swap, but I think an auto transmission build would be awesome. 500HP through an auto would be extremely quick at the track.
Good luck with the build.

Ive done my research for the past month or so and talked with quite a few people. Ill be going with a variation of parts, with a fully built motor now and not just the bottom end. Ill have the valve train done, cams, and pnp head. Ill have a Equal length manifold, GT3076R turbo, Return fuel setup, 3" downpipe back exhaust, and more. I started doing the buying of the build today. The exaust has been done already, the fuel rail is being taken care of day also. Ill keep updates posted and ill get pics of the exhaust when i pick the car up next week. T1 Race Development out of Rowlett, TX will be helping me out on install work and tuning. Of course Dezod is gonna be behind this all and we'll see what it ends up looking like. Wish me luck! 
You should talk to Rick over at www.fasterscions.com, they have been working a similar project for the last 4-5 months, he might be able to help lead you in the right direction.
BTW, this is beeing done on tc4fun4me's car, good luck man, can't wait to see the end results.
