Default School Project Poll: Modify your car?

The poll is to see the amount of people who purchase their LS1 or LS2 vehicle with intent to modify it in some way to increase performance?

Isn't it written in the Bible that when God created the LS1, he did so with the intention of us modding it?

I voted "Yes" even though it really is stupid and pointless during a HP war.

I planned on leaving it stock but that lasted about two weeks so I'm gonna have to vote no even though that couldn't be further from how I feel now.

My original intent was to keep the car stock except for minor things like intake and exhaust. I remember telling a friend there was no way I would do headers.

Well I found LS1Tech and all of a sudden the car absolutely needed headers, a torque converter, and so on...

Now my car absolutely needs a forged LS2 with twin turbos and a 4L80E at least that is my ultimate and final goal....hopefully

This poll is skewed. You're posting it on a tech website for the motor. The people here are car enthusiasts. Of course they all want to mod the car. You're leaving out all the non-enthusiasts who don't modify cars (which is pretty much everyone).
