I did look at them but for the dollars it would be a poor purchase.

That is true about the price and a lot of poorly modded ones out there, but they aren’t likely to depreciate much and might even appreciate. S2000? Another 86? Used ones are pretty cheap but I’m guessing you’ve been there, done that etc. It’ll be good to see what you end up with.

So, a weird thing happened.
A shop didn't want my money or try to rip me off. I rang Oztrack (Sydney based LS shop) and asked about a high stall, they said it isn't required with my 3.91 gears, even at the drags. He said that if I'm not at WOT all the time it would make the car sluggish on the street and typically a noisy PITA. When I asked what else I could spend some coin on, the only value for money modification that wouldn't kill the old 4L60e slushbox was a wet 50-75 shot....... We chatted for a while about his old LS1 VX, it ended up with basically the same mods as mine, but with some M/T's and a 75 shot, it layed down a 11.7 at 114 mph in full street trim. I'm thinking that ain't to bad for about a $2k "investment in fun" for when WSID opens up again.
