Re: Most Cost-Effective 600HP LS Street Build?

Yes they definitely do. Especially the classic car insurance companies, they do a rather thorough check of everything. That said, they are quite liberal with what they allow. Nitrous, roll cage, and...

Re: Most Cost-Effective 600HP LS Street Build?

Oh I know it isn't a mild build at all. It's probably going to be a ~$15,000 motor with few stock parts left at the end of the day. And yes, new rear end for sure. 600 to the flywheel is a good goal,...
