i dont kno where you guys see all this extra cost involved lol do you like to spend money, lmspeeds kit comes with everything needed even a basic tune to get you by for a while. Any other additional cost would come in a warn out motor so to suffice this change i bought a new motor lol. Im pretty sure other than more detailed tuning there is no hidden cost.
. try it out and let us know. if you do all the work that will save TONS, and if nothin else you'll still have a bad *** ride. 
But my opinion is biased.

i dont know anything about super chargers, i have a book dyno proven performance for ls1/ls6/ls7 which dynos a few , i think ATI, KB (like 5 blowers &5 turbos) you can buy the book from amazon for $16. i would get a 402 for 4k plus heads n cam since you already have the drive train covered & suspension. but a LSX 454 would be sweet!

i think some of you guys missed the part where i have a practically brand new ls6, i didnt go into details with it but forged internals, chromoly pushrods, and i think the only stock thing is the block and the crank. as far as clutch, new spec 3+ with balanced everything, umm going 9inch so no problems there, and a driveshaft that can handle it. plus lms kit comes with a fuel pump and injectors as well as a tune....im doing every install myself so i think everything is covered. i already have exhaust but want tds. if i go FULL suspension instead of a maggie its like 5600 bucks. i couldnt believe that, well that includes the price of the 9 but damn.

Dang, I'm going to be in the same situation in a few weeks (car is getting paid off 
) And I think I am going with the maggie kit from mti. And not meaning to hijack but do you have the link to lms maggie site.
