That's hard bro... Try maybe making 2 eaquations: an even degree polynomial that goes from 0 to 650ish pretty much instantly, and then make a second equation that connects at some point to the first equation. This second equation, I recommend, should be one whose parent function is f(x)=1/x, or similar, with a horizontal asymtote of around 93000. This is all guesswork.
