[QUOTE="pholmann, post: 481081, member: 5330"] I think it comes down to a few questions. Are you a parts snob? By this I mean are you happy with an ls2 or ls6 out of a GTO or a vette? Or are you the person that has to have the lsx454 out of the catalog for 18k plus all the goodies. If you use your brain, there is no reason to spend 20 grand on an engine when you can get a perfectly good takeout from a wreck or dismantled vehicle and make a few upgrades to achieve 600 hp for less than half the cost. Are you happy with welding your trusses on your junkyard axle with upgraded internals and axles etc, or do you have to have a full on custom 14 bolt with 3rd member drop ins? What it all boils down to is how much money do you have and want to spend. I think you can achieve a bad ass bouncer by using your head and being thrifty for about 30-45k. I think you can spend twice that amount for the same build by having to have brand new **** that is the same stuff. A ton of money can be saved or spent by doing it yourself or having a big name shop do it for you. I suppose that boils down to ability, time, and money. [/QUOTE]
