Man, after reading that, a stock ls with just some porting on the heads and a different intake and injectors and a little larger ring gap is all you need. That thing made 60 pulls and still looked like nothing touched it!!! I would be happy with just 800 hp. It seams to me that you can find a ls motor for around $1000 and have it worked for mabey another $1000. Then find a 4l80e and have it worked for somewhere around $2000, then turbo headers and a turbo kit for around another $5-6k. SO looks like for mabey around 8-10k installed and everything? what do you guys think...
