M6 or A4. With just headers a stall and a cam you can run 11's all day long. Paid 275 for the headers 450 for the stall and 180 for the cam. Had a custom set of true duals made for 150. That is 1055 to run 11's. 11's can be run without a cam just look at the link. Most did it with a large stall and gears and weight reduction. There is a cam only list also.

i got some pm's that will help out so thanx again for any & all your ideas big time. im thinking price wise, smaller cubes with a good top end will be decent. I have trust issues with builders due to history, so i like real opinions from you guys who drive hard like i do. & Forged for sure cause the spary is way cheaper than a blower for these ls1's. I might pik up a 92 RS vert to DD so my 98 can rest while i get some more info and contacts. its been my dd since i sold another 92 earlier this summer (dumass).

options see everyone has diff opinions, i found like 10 different long block set ups, but i was hoping to keep my original motor for a future rebuild as well so maybe a short block is better?

Wow, I didnt think that 5200 for a long block was that bad of a deal. I mean H/C alone is 2000+. **** some heads are 2000 alone. My bad.

So if thats the biggest rip off youve ever seen, then what do you think about the lingenfelter 350 package. Its 7000+ for 420hp. Or the 427 Package that goes for 29,000$. Dont get me wrong the 427 TT vettes are SICK. But 50K is a little steep dont you think. GMR built me a 408 TT with all suspension, Tranny, Driveshaft, Fuel System, all included, 1100+ RWHP for under 28K. Thats not a bad deal. In my opinion. JUST AN OPINION. I could be an idiot. Actually that might be a fact but whatever. HEHE

its all relative to your income and wants i guess, but i want my car back and running for under 5 g's, i just dont have the coin to spend that alone on just a long block, espically when i dont know the extent of the damage yet. but i hear ya. for the record, my blower car ran mid 11's pretty stock with a stick and 3;23', maybe the whole motor cost 2500, including the used vortec i bought for 1200... now just a blower for my car is 5 grand. -times certainly have changed.
