Default 500+bhp Cosworth engine advice please.

I'm at a stage with my project now that I've been thinking about the engine and decided I want touring car power so 500/550bhp I know the questions has be asked 1000 times but I'm keen to know people's opinions on what's required?

I'm also seriously considering giving it to a tuner to do the work required as I'm pretty good with bodywork/mechanics but I'm no engine builder. I'm hopefully going to get in contact with tremona garage soon as there 5mins from me and see what they say. Can anyone give me an idea on what a tuner would charge to build a 500+bhp engine?

One more question is I know I will have to update the management but to what? And also will the gearbox and diff stand up to this?? It is going to get used hard and on track.

Any advice would be most appreciated.
