I am interested in what you men and women here would do with about $20,000 towards your car. (Considering that it was changed back to stock) This is mainly for my personal use, but it may also be interesting to think about. So please list, that if you still had your bone stock Ls1, and someone gave you around $20,000 to spend on it, what would you do, and why? (Also considering that you could not save/spend the money on any other purpose)
I would like to achieve 600+rwhp with 600+rwtq as with a friend of mine that will be getting the same deal, about $20,000 each. I have been doing countless research on different ways to go around with modifying both of our cars. I would like to take into account on what the population of this website would do with the money if it was going into their Stock 2002 Ws6 or a Stock 2007 GT.
Our plans seem to be focused street drivability, but maximum power when at the track. We originally liked the sound of supercharging our cars in the end, but from what I have been reading it seems that the turbocharger may fit our needs in the end. (We are still undecided) To go with, I need to learn which parts of my engine, in particular need to be forged, and built up to withstand the boost. I understand I will need to work on the trany and the rear end to hold up the power also.
________
So, with $20,000 do you think it is ideal to:
-Go for full adjustable suspension based on drag racing and street drivability.
-Get the basic bolt ons based around the Forced Induction for full compatibility.
-Forge the necessary parts of the engine for the future power.
-Work on the transmition and rear end to hold up to the future power.
-Find the right place to purchase a great TT setup or other FI. (Undecided)
-Find the best place, even if it means to trailer our cars 500 miles to get the best tune possible.
(While retaining full street drivability with the ability to daily drive the cars around)
______________
Did I leave anything out that I should have placed in the list, if so, what?
Thank you for anyones help, and lets hear what you guys would do instead/also. :)
