you can get the new bmw m4

they are really easy to get 500+ hp out of

stock they have 425 and with a good tune and some reliability upgrades, you can push 500-550 easily ( $1000-$1500 depending on if you do the work yourself, intercooler and larger charge pipe, NO BOV BMW's ARE NOT MEANT TO HAVE THEM, it will make you lose power )

i6 twin turbo

Keep it. Once you start modding the difference in the ls1 and ls2 is not very big unless you pull the engine out and stroke it. At that point you could buy an ls2 402 to go back in it. The difference is in the bore. The larger bore ls2 can accept the bigger, badder heads out there. That said, they cost more money.

There are some really good cnc programs out there for stock 243 castings (ls6 heads.) AI makes a nice set. People make 450-470whp with those heads and quality supporting mods on an ls1 when using a healthy cam.

That is enough to trap 122mph in a GTO.

Heads-$1800
Valvetrain-$600
Oil pump/timing chain-$250
Cam-$400
Tuning-$500-$750
Clutch-$600

As i've cautioned everyone that considers a c6z, please set aside $5k cash after purchase to have the heads addressed. If you are already pushing your price limit to get into one and you plan on driving it a lot or dding it you could be stuck with a very expensive paperweight. If anyone wants me to i can elaborate.

Holy.. $5k?? I haven't heard anything about that. I know the 07's had issues but I thought they were fine after that.
