What would you do next? As of late I have reached what imo would be the limit (or very close to) of the stock LS1 internals. I'd like the car to hit the single digits eventually, but I want to run a setup where I can keep some of my current parts, most importantly the heads. Having the LSx is going to run around $2000 more than the LS2, with the advantage of being able to handle much higher power levels.

Yeah, depends on what you want. I went so far as to buy about $1,800.00 worth of nitrous setup stuff for a 150 shot ... got it all on the car and didn't even finish it up ... ended up pulling it back off the car and selling it.
Was gonna' do a APS twin turbo setup and then decided on a 408 with a FA1 supercharger (after reading how much it costs for TT's after it's said-and-done). FA1 and more cubes wasn't any cheaper ... too much power for my setup. FINALLY, I decided to be a realist. I'd be better off with a D-1SC and keep the forged motor I already have and just enjoy a nice, fast street car. Gonna' S/C the thing (D-1SC), put an 8-rib kit on her and be done with it.
Will loose a little up top over a turbo, but, it'll be there all the time and I don't need top end power unless I'm trapping 120+ anyway. And I can always keep taking off weight to go a lil' faster ... witout having to worry about toomuch power breaking my 12-bolt and wearing out my FLT level IV tranny ... just my .02 and hope this helps ya'.
