What would you choose??
Hey, guys. Need some input here. My 2000 Camaro SS 6M has 150K+ and I am itching for a project. I manage a hotrod shop in Puyallup, WA that specializes in LS swaps so I have great access to equipment and knowledge.
I have two options I'm considering, both would be a daily driver:
1. Keep my Camaro, cam swap, LS6 intake and rebuild the engine/trans. It would make good power and get decent mileage.
2. This one could be fun if done right - get a 2000+ full size GM truck or SUV 2wd and swap in a 2007+ 6.0 (LY6 with awesome L92 heads), do a cam swap and minor upgrades that usually get around 500hp at the crank. I'd get performance suspension and brakes, too. This could be a great sleeper.
What would you rather do? Just seeing if you guys have input I may not be considering.

Stangtrader, I work at Chris Holstrom Concepts. Check out our work on Facebook. We've done some really cool LS builds.
Chuckd71 I don't have that budget or space for that yet.
I'm leaning towards building my Camaro for now. I could use it as a DD but do some local race stuff, too.

The Camaro is in really nice shape, I think the best move is to mild-build my original LS1 for now and build a LY6 for when mine gets too tired. Then its just a R&R without huge costs all at once.
