hmmm i would go with the built ls-2 that way you can choose what kind of powerband you want....there is no dry sump tank and plumbing.. and if it were me i would buy one that was built for boost and bolt on a pair of turbos (you are going to need headers anyway, and why not buy a pair from schwartz that accept turbos???)

If your trying to build a killer all around car forget turbos. Plus wouldnt the LS7 have a killer powerband since it would be a stock motor with possibly a few bolt-on's.

LOL! His car is more of a streetfighter than your car. I just think all the hassle and extra weight are not need. Especialy since he is not going for gobs of power.
P.S. I love your car.

Definitely a LS7 if budget permits. You can throw a cam in there down the line and then no built LS2 will be able to touch it. The LS2 does seem like a bargain though since it can be had for $6000 with transmission, PCM and harness. A LS7 setup is easily triple that price, but then it will be brand new.
I agree - to much extra plumbing clutters up the engine bay
