let me know, @CSG_Mike if i walked into the shop, stock frs, how much power can i make with 10 grand? platform and handling aside, just for the sake of conversation.

Sustainably? ~325-350whp.

Unsustainably? 500+

You're not gonna get any LS swap done for remotely close to 10k unless you're doing all the labor yourself with zero time value.
