Default My WS6 Update and a question?

Alright if you guys didnt know, I had bought a 02 M6 WS6 with a blown rearend and knocking motor for only $3,000. Well I had bought this 10-bolt but got my refund on it and bought one of my buddies 10-bolt off his Firehawk. The older guy who owned the Firehawk before told us that he had the 10-bolt built so it can handle around 500rwhp and it also had 3.73's in it. Well last night we put it on my car and I took it around the block with the motor knocking . I got on it to about 4K rpm and stopped and it pulled nice. No noise from the rearend at all. I launched it at 2500 and it spun the tires and pulled hard. All together I'm happy with it. I might now buy this motor that is for sale. It is a LS1 from a 00' Z28 that has been completely rebuilt and has a LS6 cam in it. He has all the papers for the rebuild and is asking $2200 for the motor, but it has 0 miles on it. I want something like that because it will be all brand new and reliable. What do you guys think?

HaHa, thanks guys. I'm buying the motor tonight and buying a complete LS6 clutch/flywheel off the guy also for an extra $300. What do you guys think it will put to the wheels. Bone stock LS1/rebuilt with an LS6 cam/lid/catback exhaust?
