to rebuild or start fresh? well i'm stuck in a position with my '99 TA. it has 109k miles and runs great. the only modification is an SLP LM1 catback...i've had the car a little over a year now and i want to start on the engine. i'm undecided whether or not i should tear the stock 346 down to the block and start fresh with all forged internals, cam, heads, etc or if i should just ditch the stock 5.7 and upgrade to a 6.0 LQ9 block and build it. i'm not turning this car into a race car, i just want a fast street car to take to the strip every so often that puts down 550-600 rwhp.
does it matter what i do? am i good either way? i'd like to keep the 5.7L...somewhat because it would be a bit cheaper and less time consuming to keep the LS1. sorry i'm not very knowledgeable on this car yet.

yeah i know it sounded like i wanted to stay NA, but i realized that is going to make it really hard to get past the 500 mark, so i've been looking into a twin turbo. possibly from APS.
thanks for the insight guys.
