yea im going to drift/ drag it. its my daily at the moment and i spun a bearing with the SR so im out of a car. Its mainly a summer project between me and a buddy i go to school with. and theres nothing done to the lt1 yet ( besides the ac delete kit i threw on) but after the swap is done i plan on swapping to built aluminum heads with roller rockers so i can keep it up close or at the revlimiter when drifting. then if i keep it long enough i might boost it
