because there is more potential out of an ls3?

because the price of an ls2 is the same as an ls3?

and the swap is pretty much straight foward. depending on what you got with the ls3 would depend on how much other stuff you would have to buy.

I would look for a gto with a blown motor first. and if you can't do the swap yourself, the cost goes up A LOT.
