An engine swap is the ultimate mod. Every single piece under the hood is now foreign to the car. The amount of displacement, street manners and power output is irrelevant. Highly modified signifies how far the car is from it's original condition.
I would consider your car highly modified. You have changed every single part of that original car. Intake, Heads, Cam, Pistons, Rods, Crank, Block, Exhaust from headers back, gears, tires, clutch, suspension etc etc etc. The only stock part left on your car is the body. Looking at your mods list, you changed EVERYTHING. Just because GM made some of your engine parts doesn't make it any less of a modification.

This. Some people may need a replacement engine, that does not mean it's highly modified. My ls6 was just that, a replacement engine......due to catastrophic failure of a missed shift not by me.

I'm leaving Saturday for some track days at NJMP, so a late meet Friday night or this weekend is out (4.5 hours to get down there and I'll be back late Monday night). I mentioned a possible meet with Beans the following weekend, so let's see if the weather cooperates. I'll run pretty much anything regardless of how badly I'll win or lose, and as long as the person involved is cool.

I asked Evan for the race because i want to compare it to my 600. From a 65-70 roll with Evan getting the hit the 600 was dead even until about 120 where he would start walking, and by 135 he was pulling me HARD.
I want to recreate that race with the 750 and see how hard i pull, and Evan is being a good sport and lining up with me in the name of science, lol.
The only thing that sucks is with this damn squid windscreen on the bike i will have to have my head above it to see where i'm going. I can't see 2 feet in front of me at night in a full tuck.

No, not my point at all. If a car blows a head gasket and has to replace the entire head with a stock replacement part, there is no modification. Unless you consider the number stamp on the head to be a modification. In that case, changing the stock oil and oil filter are as much a modification as repairing something that broke. Exact same head, exact same function. HIO, however, doesn't have a stock part anywhere on that car! Maybe the driveshaft! 
Other than that, there is a list a mile long of what didn't come on the car and a list 2 to 3 inches long of what did.
Unless someone can name me some significant mechanical parts on HIO's car that are still stock? I can't think of much that he hasn't modified.
