That is aso a viable option, I just didn't mentiom it cause it could lead to the same road later on. Personally if you put the blower on the LS3 I'd change to Morel lifters and good valve train parts, but he's right, the car would be ******* nutty.

really depends how important the vette is to you and how you look at it. You already own it and it's a good setup....just needs a good refresh...looking at it like that....then it's not much compared to buying a new vette and starting over or buying something someone else has modded. What are your goals and budget?

"You guys are the only reason I've had this car this long."

Well, I have been blamed for much worse than that. And by better people than you I might add.

I'd buy a crate motor, have the trans rebuilt, and find a local mechanic that does work on the side to Remove/install it. Go to your GM dealer and ask around. You'll find someone. I have done that in the past, successfully.
