As cool as that is, I don't understand why you'd put all that money into doing this when you could get an LS1 F-Body or Vette and clean it up for a lot less.

And what's this "different" agenda? From what I've seen (and I maintain the V6 fast lists, so I've seen a lot) a base model V6 with a properly set up and tuned nitrous kit would give a stock SS a drivers race, and that's at around 25,000 total investment. It might not have the same "maximum" if you work it all the way to the limit, but we also have a V6 running mid 12s with nitrous and full bolt ons. If the agenda is to go fast, I think that qualifies. Not to mention that nobody's gotten into the internals yet. Closest is BMWDon's ported heads/intake, and he's not done with that yet.
