My son and I have a 455 cu.in. LS1 in a 02 TA WS6 M6, 3.73 12 bolt Moser.
Runs 10.90 @127 Easy launch, easy shifting, closed exhaust and street tires.

To do it right, you are going to spend atleast $12 to $15k on the motor and drive train.

Yes....we are the ones. It was a great build and lots of fun.
Now that the project is complete and we met our goal of a 10 sec car in full street trim, it will be for sale in a couple of weeks.

There are many ways of getting to 427 cubes. Are you thinking a Darton LS1/6, a bored/stroked LS2, an LS7?

For the money I think the LS2 or L92 is hard to beat for NA combos.
