I want about 600WHP with whatever engine I decide on. On the other hand I can be around 550WHP with the Ecotec and achieve the same speeds.

With an LSx I can get 600WHP on pump and low boost, where as the Ecotec is going to take race gas and 30 psi to make 500+.

With the Ecotec I should be able to get the car with driver around 2500 lbs.

I was talking with someone the other day about using the inline 6 from a Trailblazer with a Turbo but I sill think the LS1 looks cooler

I was going to say a Twin turbo diesel!

I think this is a terrific idea, the motor no doubt is going to be hyper with all of the at boost, but I expect the hobby at least in part, to go this direction in the future. J's blazing somewhat of a trail here, and he's smart to realize that weight is the enemy, anything you can do within reason to reduce it is a good thing, it makes EVERYTHING else easier: acceleration, cornering forces, braking, durability concerns, you name it.

That little car is going to whoop some a$$.
