Question What to do??????

Ok I have about $15,000 to $25,000 to play with. I want to build a motor but I am torn on going Turbo or N2O. I was thinking if I went Turbo I would go with a Forge 347 or 370 and if I went N2O I would do a 382 or bigger. I hit the track as much as I can and don't drive the car to much. But I would like to be able to drive it on the street's with no problem if and when I would take it out on the weeken. So here is what I already have a 2000 WS6 M6 with 55,xxx miles on it and I have had it for 4 year's bought it with 46,xxx(Told you I don't drive it). I already have a Moser 9 inch with 410,31 spline and alumnium center section. I also have all UMI suspension TQ arm w/DSL,LCA,PB,Rear Sway Bar,K-Member,Lower A-arms and I am ordering subfram connector's,QA1 Shock's all the way around with 300lb front spring and maybe V6 or stock springs in the rear. I also already have a Fast 92 Intake and Fast 92 TB. So if you were me and you had this money what would you do????? I need to make a choice soon because the wife alrady gave me the ok and if I don't start doing something she is going to go shopping with my money

If you have that much money to spend go with a ls-7 427. I built an ls-1 427 for my 90 RS the hard way and it cost me over 14,ooo (motor and F.A.S.T. xfi only.) I couldnt be happier, but keep in mind, you will break stuff!! (transmissions mostly....) If you have money left over, turbocharge it!! My RS on DOT drag radials will lift the wheels on the street and still will get 19 mpg!!! Good luck!!

Forged LS2 402 bottom end. L92 heads, L76 intake, custom grind cam, full bolt-ons. You should be able to get a safe, reliable 500 rwhp if built correctly. Then add the bottle for when you want to have some extra fun.

Good choice, I'm sure it will put a smile on your face when it's done. They are doing a mild 427 for my GTO as we speak.
