All this for a DD? I dont know man. What you have here is probably enough to compete with stock terminators and stuff. Hope you're rich or decide on taking out a loan.
no such mammal

Lets just leave it at that I am making real good money right now. No loan needed.
then why don't you buy a c6 z06 or something?
I'm not going to buy another car. I like mine, but want it faster. Lets go with the term "sleeper".

"A stage 2 won't hold up if you do run a manual."

Why do you say that???
I say that because a Stage 2 is maxed out at 400hp, which is on the verge of completely destroying the clutch disc. The engine he "plans" to have will eat it alive, it's better to run at least a Stage 3 with that much power.

I've decided to disregard the whole 4.2 Stroker engine. Instead, I am going to use SSMs Stage 3 PowerPak with all the upgrades they have listed. I'm still going to get the Turbo from TMA, but the PowerPak is going to be fine to handle it, rather than getting a whole friggin engine. Any comments?

The power pack isn't going to help the engine. You're still going to need forged internals to keep the engine from blowing, so why not just get a fully built 4.2 engine from SSM or Morana that comes with forged internals? It'd be easier and probably cheaper. I think Morana had a forged 4.4L long block for like $4k.

I'm not gonna lie, I was thinking I was going to be able to save some money there hehe. Apparently I can't. I misread the powerpak info. Not only now am I going to get the engine, but I'm also going to find someone to slap me for being semi-illiterate.
