I would do a JY 5.3, once you get everything done and tuned then start building a forged LQ4 if your not happy with the 5.3. Once the LQ4 is done pull out the 5.3 and sell it....

What do you guys think it would take to beat a 600whp evo on the street? Budget friendly keep in mind.

A. Best 1st thread ever
B. This I'd like to see
C. I picked the 5.3/PT7675 just because what better way to shut someone up than with a 5.3L junkyard motor

I have seen a 5.3 pt7675 rolling on the street and the thing had a very nice spool and street manners. I've also got to hear a 6.0 (turbo unknown) and it sounded very nice with the tu2 cam. I would like at least some cam due to me being a little old school and liking the "muscle" tone..
