New motor is being built

Going tohave something really frustrating for the LSx boys nest summer. Iremember when we put the blower on the car and after a year and having 463 whp - I'm not really impressed anymore.

So...it's time to build something stupid fast.Having a stroker builtwith Stage 2 heads and Comp cams, and will step up to the Vortech T-trim. My goal of over 600whp should be easily attainable. It will be done in January, and I will post pics and dyno #'s.

Can hardly wait for a Z06 to get along side of me.

Is there a budget your going to limit yourself to?or is this an "all out" project? -Jon

A bit of both honestly. I talked myself into doing the heads, cams, clutch, and headers with the stroker because of the significant savings in labor of doing everything at once. This was beyond my budget by about 2k, but makes more sense to spend the money now.

Total cost including removal and reinstallation is about 10k.
