A lot of responses. Appreciate them all. I would love to stroke it or turbo/procharger, but I wouldnt have enough money left over after the 9". I would like to get a new driveshaft and clutch to go with my rear end, but I wouldnt be able to get the LS6 Intake Manifold and tires/wheels. I think the clutch and driveshaft would be able to hold for awile.
and some spray & tires if you have any $$ left over.

I think the clutch and driveshaft would be able to hold for awile.
But I suppose you can find that out the hard way. May want to look into a good clutch/flywheel. Something like a spec3+ or so. Your driveshaft should be pretty good. Just get new Ujoints.
Personally, this winter Im doing a Tv3 I believe. The cam just sounds so appealing to me, and the style of driving I do most with my car, and has a ton of power under the curve, good for driving on the street (read: racing on the street).

hmmm, m6, you still on the stock clutch? M/T + 4.10 can shorten the clutch life for sure. Mabe skip the ls6 for now and go with a stonger cutch if you have not done that yet... with the mods you are considering. All great choices for 1/4 mile. Just a thought you may want to consider the stock 3:42's so that you dont have to shift as much as it will slow you down. With the 4/10 you will be bangin gears alot more often, needless to say. Alowing more potential for error. I've got 3:73's and am considering going back to stock to save time on shifting. Edit* I'm no expert so if you are and expert chime in!

Good luck..
