If you have to ask, the best thing you probably need to do is drop it off with one of the sponsors listed on the right side of this page, along with a blank check.

I could never do that most of the fun from a build in my eyes is picking out everything In your setup. To the op it's gonna take a lot of time researching to see what will work and won't on my build my goals are much smaller but will continue to grow as I learn more

Oh Gawd, this Noah dude is retarded. An N/A, factory displacement, Ls1 CAN NOT put down 600 to the tire. Not without some ridiculous compression, HUGE cam, the best heads money can buy, and a lot of RPM's. Not gonna' happen...

OP, it takes A TON of money to make a GTO a 9 sec. car. It takes more to keep a DD. You'll have to go with an 8.8 or 9" rear ($6k), built EVERYTHING, costly suspension, cage, etc. I can name 2 guys who have done it with a 6 speed, but the money these cars have in them is scary.

Why start with an LQ4 block?

BEFORE you consider the engine you need to decide on NA or boost.
