I was thinking about a LS2 (like the america tires) but with a cast iron block so i can boost (LSX) but my installer said I would loose everything on the center console/dash...basically just drop in the engine and run a stack...i'm not sure if im willing to take that sacrifice but who knows...ill figure it out once my warrenty is up.
