estimate from livernois motorsports
I have a 06 gto m6 with 95k on it. Its stock except axle back exhaust and a dry 100shot. I emailed livernno is about doing heads and a can and clutch as well. The estimate they came back with was headers, heads, cam, all new vvalve train, oil pump, timing chain cat back, clutch, dynowork and I'm sure a few other things I'm forgetting. $2550 for labor and $9600 total including tax. Not sure what i want to do. Therea a 1998 vette for sale locally for $9500 that i could just buy and throw my nitrous on and proly be faster than the Gto will be with all the work done.

If Livernois had a Fast intake, cam, tune, clutch, heads, and headers all thrown in there, I can easily see it hitting $9500 with installation. Yes the Vette would be faster than your current car with just the 100 shot as long as it was sound. This said, what's the mileage on the Vette? What has been done to it maintenance and repair wise?
Also, remember, EVERYTHING for the Vette will be more expensive, and you'll need to budget accordingly. Headers and X pipe alone will be over $1500 for a nice set, installation will run you $500, if you ceramic coat them, that'll run you another $400 or more. Then you'll need a tune, whine will run $4-500. So, in headers alone you could be near or over $3000.

The vette has headers already. It has high miles and maintenance on it is questionable. I love my gto but just trying to get best bang for my buck. I do like that iI can make the Gto fast and still have a back seat that a reasonable sized person can fit in. And I am 6'5 330lbI so the gto is way more comfortable. Its just with the gto 's weight its hard to get that seat of the pants fast feeling out of it. I mean for 9600 why not just supercharge it? So many options

i assume with all that work done my gto wwould be 500hp at the crank. And with a 100shot 600hp at the crank. Am I wrong in thinking that the 600hp Gto would be close to same speed as345 hp Yvette with a 100shot? I guess im hoping 155hp difference would make up the weight difference or come close

The only thing worse than spending $9500 on mods, is to spend it, and then be forced to buy another motor!

ya both good points. ive owned the gto since it had 40k on it so i know the car has been maintained and i feel safer beating on it than a high mileage vette. well its looking more likely that i just take it and drop it off and hope it comes back nasty. im not much of a drag racer ive taken the car a few times just for fun. i know the vette would be way better for quicker times. i just want it to be fun to drive and take some people for rides and hit the nitrous and scare em a little bit

mine is the 6.0, ive only used the 100 shot on it. been wanting to use the 150 shot. if it runs as good as it does on the 100shot naturally after the mods i will be happy and then hit it with the 100 shot after the mods and it should be a good time

Pro charging the Gto is a better way to go. The tune and boost is the key to not blowing it to h**l. You are going to spend money to go fast in anything. The question is how fast do you want to go. 600 hp if you hook up will get you some low 11 high 10s in the 1/4. We have a gto that went 11.2 with street tires leaving like you would from a stop light. The car was making around 630hp then. Believe me 600hp in these cars will give you the feeling you want.
