Winter rebuild
I have a 99 A4 pro charger p1-sc1 dynoed at 435 rwhp. I am thinking about either refreshing the ls1 or drop in a ls3 crate engine. I will looking for a reliable high 600 rwhp when I am finished. I have a $10k budget. What is the best route and its pro and cons? It also have to be smog legal in CA.

LS3 Short Block, AFR LS3 Heads, Custom Cam Motion Cam, Modified C6 (Z06/ZR1) exhaust manifolds, cats,
and X/H pipe, some modding is needed to make it fit around trans/bellhousing if I remember. Do a search it's
been done before. Add Boost.

I already have the c6 exhaust manifolds and h pipe installed with my LS1. I am on the fence with the LS3 upgrade. The LS1 has a little over 100K on it and runs very strong. I am just looking for more hp.
