building the Ls6 !! need advice
I had two vettes with F/I procharger and a paxton in the past and i know that will b the easiest way to make my z fast again but I think that I will b looking at 8 k atleast
I was thinking I could just build the ls6 and spray a 200 shot on it and make the car fast
I have a lot of friends that will give me a hand doing the work
what all will it take to build the ls6 to withstand a big shot of Nitrous ????
could i pull this off considering we are doing the labor cheaper than getting a blower and making the Z b as fast as a Blower car ???
who do i need to talk to to get the parts and cam that will b needed for this build
im thinking a good nitrous cam the Ls6 should make around 415 rwhp + a 200 to 225 shot should make the car quick
ill need a good clutch

If you keep it around 150 you can do it on the stock motor. Do heads, cam and intake. That should put you around 450 + 150 shot. This is probably your least expensive option.
If you want to build it on a budget just buy forged rods and pistons. The stock crank will be fine for along time. Personally if I were building a engine I would go bigger. Do some price checking on 383's or 408's.

I have done nitrous and a blower and in the long run I don't think nitrous is any cheaper. Especially when you add in heads, cam, etc. Also, with a 200 shot you are not going to get many passes per bottle.
you are going to need a clutch either way and maybe some rear end mods, so you can't count that.
after having a FI car, I don't think you will be happy with nitrous. If you decide to get another blower, I will help you install it.
