15K? You picked the wrong week to stop smokin crack.

Seriously, you can buy an LS7 from someone like Katech that puts out the power your looking for but, plan on spending closer to $20k.
Personally, I don't think the LSx swaps are for people with budgets under $35. You could go cheap and get it done for under $14k (LS2) but that's using junk yard motor and electronics. If you plan to go with top of the line aftermarket then plan on spending closer to $40k
JMHO.
