What would be more interesting (project car)
I've been rounding up parts for this 2000 Z/28 roller I bought. I have had a few options for the engine/power setup... I'd be curious if some of you guys which combo you'd find most interesting:

I like the All motor option as well, I'd like to see it done in more of a "street car" fashion (Heat, possibly A/C, power accessories) rather then a gutted tin can, would make for a much more interesting challenge.

My first thought was the Ls3 then I thought about how cool the 5.3 turbo was that Parrish did with the Ford Fairmont. My vote goes to the Ls3 n/a build because the shock of what Parrish did has already worn off, NOT to take anything away from his project because i talked about it for months and it still is a awesome setup. Ls3, 9 sec, N/A will turn some heads in the LS world!

I chose the blower, just don't see enough LSx motors going 8's on a blower. An N/A motor would be cool too, but it has its expense and headaches too...plus it's only a 9 sec car, whoopty...

I don't think a 9.9x turbo build would be hard, could maybe even hit 9.5's with good gas.
I think 9.9 with LS3 without a power adder would be a challenge.
I think a blower 8.9x would take a while.
Actually I'm thinking 9.9x with an LS2 NA and then adding a blower later.

Kurt, you ever had some excess weight over the wheels? I understand if it's just for weight transfer.

Anyone blower and fast with any motor is getting boring these days.. an LS with a big turbo or blower will be fast, they are almost a dime a dozen these days... Not many trying to go fast N/A. Quite a few in the 9's N/A but not enough to make it a dime a dozen thing.
Im not a huge fan on pump gas just because at that level pump gas really hols a combo back in my opinion.
