Why are you still stock internal?
I am thinking about going stock internal only again ... well of course with nitrous later I think si would be a lot easier on the drivetrain than would be heads/cam. What are you all stock internal still?

Eventually, I'll get a replacement for my WS6 though, and that one will be modded and raced. It will not retain the stock internals.

I stayed stock internal for a long time (100,000 miles) because I wanted to see how far I could go with it. When I got to the point where I would have to strip the interior to go faster I decided to go with a cam instead. And two trips to the dragstrip later I spun two rod bearings.
Guess maybe I should have kept it SI longer. Lol!

Mine is a daily driver, so I didn't want to go too agressive and risk losing my transportation to work. Right now, I'm saving for a beater of some sort. Next will be a place with a garage. Then will come a rear end, and possibly a tranny rebuild depending on how it holds up.
I've done a full exhaust, all the intake I can while retaining the LS6 intake, new clutch, lots of suspension, some blingin wheels, and a nice stereo. I learned how to tune my car too, so I should be able to tune for anything I get down the road.
With all that is happening in the LSX market, I'm actually content to sit here and wait to see what comes out next. World Products looks like it'll have a great LSX block, the sponsors are bringing head prices down considerably, and with the LS7 on the market, it is only a matter of time before you see some of that technology integrated into the Gen III platform (mainly the heads/intake).
People are getting upper 400s in the RWHP department from stock cubes on a more consistent basis these days. That was something that didn't happen a few years ago.

Lack of money and I still have a warranty on the drivetrain. I've done stuff that wouldn't void the warranty and eventually will get a DD to be able to just mod and drive my T/A only when it's nice. Now it's a DD and I need the reliability as well.
