Stick with what you have. Especially since you would be going from a low mileage vert to a zo6 fixed roof high mileage. You won't know what you have till its gone.

If you want the power just mod it. That what I'm doing. After next week ill basically have an ls6 with full bolt ons and cam.

If you want more power, just mod what you have.
