You should be fine at 500-550 rwhp with a good tune.
Like them or not...if those are euro-style taillights on that WS6...those are really really rare..and may be worth some money. Seems like I read (4 years ago) something on those taillights only having a very small number made.
Then again, I can't really see them that well in the pic.

Makes sense why they made so few since they look pretty terrible.
looks like an idiot had the ws6 judging by all that nonsense in the engine bay, so that one is out.
the ss is was too overpriced, dealers love to think SOM is godsend color that people will pay anything for, so that one is out.
my vote is for the z28, low miles, cheap price. if you don't like the gfx thats even better, you will be able to sell them for a hefty amount... i should just the fronts on ebay (in pewter actually too) for $350.

what would be a relatively cheap (under $3k) and effective Heads and cam Set-up (keep in mind the Z28 will be a DD) and were do i find parts for these cars, i been trying on summitracing but i would like more.
If you buy the car and need/want parts, your answer is---->, the sponsor list should be on the right of the screen. And as far as a heads/cam DD car, some people will tell you that you can DD a huge cam such as an MS4, some will tell you to stay at the 228 range. It really depends. If you want to see some options of cams and heads, check texas speed or give them a call. They have a ton of options and will help you figure out the best route for you. Everyone is different, so if you get the car and want to do heads/cam remember to figure in expenses for other things..oil pump, valve springs, pushrods, intake, exhaust, tune...

awesome im actually looking at a complete list!!! 
okay so with the ls6 intake added and the oil pump + the set up mentioned in post #33 what would i be looking at? as far a rwhp and possibly 1/4 times (for an auto with stock stall and gears)
oh and what do you guys think about this (the interior is kinda meh)
