x2 from many years and build experiences. And I am just now starting to follow my own advice. You can do quite a bit for 20k if you're a good fabricator/engine builder/wrench/painter etc... Otherwise if you're paying guys to do it for you, it spends quickly. What are your skills? ET goals?

Step 1. Sell car and buy a mostly finished roller (save 50% on parts and labor).

I think some research is in order, never heard of an LS being over 1000hp EVER, might need to read some magazines or something!! Set Goal, make a Plan, buy lots of parts, assemble and Tune for desired goal! See very simple,,, spend lots of $$$$$
