ummm huh...

either way point is if you build a 3.8 to 420 and the LS1 is at 350 bhp they will suffer aproximetly the same drivetrain loss

Sorry it took so long to get back to this, but school and my job kept me busy.

Alright, after more searching and thinking.. I'm starting to think Turbos and/or nitrous might be better.

Alright, Let's say I have $1500, and sold my car for about.. $3000-4000 at best.. I'd end up with 5500 tops. A SS/Z28 costs probably 10,000 for a decent one, and then higher insurance, and higher gas prices. Then another 2000 for bolt ons, finally ending with 4000 for the turbos. So theoretically I'd be about $11,000 in the hole. Not to mention Z28's and SS's are almost impossible to find where I live (central Canada). A 95 Z28 with 116,000kms is going for $11,000 here. and A 2000 WS6 with 124,000kms is going for $16,000.

If I keep my car, we'll say 2000 for internals and an engine rebuild (or the same but newer engine), then 4000 for the turbos.. theoretically I'd be only $4500 in the hole. And 300-400 horsepower would be more then enough for my street driven car..

Any thoughts?
