i'm still in the planning stages of my camaro project (won't even start until i'm out of school).

My original plan was to have a 6.0L LQ9 swapped into the car. when all was said and done, it'd be pushing over 500 HP to the wheels on the motor alone.

Problem is, stuff like that gets real expensive. I'd love to have the motor in the car, but it may end up being too pricey. so i'm looking at other options as well. My current alternative is a 383ci LS6. Achieving this would be rather simple. I'd be using the stock LS1 as a base. The GMPP LS6 conversion would be round #1. Then, a 383 stroker kit would be added into the mix. Wrap it up with a FAST LSX intake manifold, long-tube headers, and maybe a different set of heads (the AFR 225cc heads are looking REAL good) and this thing would haul ass. the question is, how much ass would it haul? is 500+ horsepower still a reasonable expectation? if it is, i may ditch the 402 idea completely, seeing as the LS6 will be much cheaper.
