It's right up your alley 
The car is apart right now but it has a 4.5 on center Stage 2 with Stage 2 heads. I have some nice parts going into it that are still in boxes. Still needs a few big parts like a trans,engine management and turbo hotside but it should haul the mail when it's done. My Viper really screwed me on getting the build done but I'm thinking next year I'll start chipping away at it again.

! I wish I had the kind of money it took to build a stage motor. I might be putting together a simple 4.1L block with a stroker crank.. Would be 4.5L like yours, but certainly not as strong.

My car came with the Stage 2 but I switched a couple things on it and still want to change the oiling setup. The Stage 2 has the cool factor but you can do quite well with a properly built 109 block, Champion heads, 206/206 cam and a 66mm turbo. Honestly if the Stage 2 doesn't work out it will be a twin turbo LSX that goes in my car
LOL....Honestly though, the turbo 6 is what they're known for, and I'd keep it in there as long as it works! I must say though, I'm a big turbo LS lover.
