I hear they are good to 500hp. Is that what they max out at or are they capeable of more?

You don't need a turbo for 500 hp in a 351C.

My Falcon. Runs 10's with a 385 ci stroked C.

Once you get past 500 hp, you can start to have survivability issues. You can also pass the 1000 hp mark if you are careful. Detonation is the killer. Avoid it at all costs in the higher HP ranges.

If you really want to turbo charge a C, head over to http://www.theturboforums.com/ and start reading up on blowthrough tech.

LOL.........I think he is taking about a Holset HE 351C which is a turbocharger. From all the research I did before starting my project the HE should be able to support 500hp.

!!!!That is great. Understandable though. Should have been a little more clear.
