I could not agree more!!! A car really should be in the 10's to be fast IMO. There are just so many out there. Everyone makes jokes about how I have 2 C5's, but I keep dumping money into a truck. Of course, I'll be very happy in the mid 13's. I think that is just so much more fun and it really shocks the **** out of people. I'd love to see some of the trucks on here in action!!
Any of you thought about waiting on the 6.0 swap until the LS2's become a little more common?? That would be sweet!!

I'm with ya greentahoe!

I'm currently selling the Vette and with some of that money I'll be doing the 6.0L swap and working the heads a little. In all actuallity it should put out more than a regualr LS1 since it has more cubes and will have more compression.

The LS2 is gonna be quite expensive for a long time IMO. The money will be better spent on a 6.0L with forged pistons, rod bolts etc. Then you can run some nasty boost or nitrous through it for the same cash but handle more HP

Very good point. Im hoping to be able to put a little of the money we will have left over after the leases on the vettes are up towards either doing forged internals on a 6.0 or maybe just forged internals and a little more on my 5.3 . I think the leases are up in 3-4 months, but I'll have to get a mercedes or something like that for my better half .
I wish all of you the best of luck with your swaps. Im not too innovative so I'll be looking to you guys for answers. I cant wait to see what you guys come up with!!
