careful with hid's kits off of ebay they are very worthy of catching on fire. Ive had a pontiac owner try to my car down and all he has is the 3.4 block and 3.1 top end. I didnt car, i do want I WANT with my car, thats why i hate wanna be car clubs too

These are all assuming OE specs. Your going to have to supercharge it to beat the guy. Which isn't that crazy either. Buy an old used donor car. I literally just gave away a '98 Regal GS that had all the parts you need to win...

On a motor week video on youtube the 00 MC SS ran the 1/4 in 15.7

That's exactly what my MC Z34 ran when it was literally bone stock. That's why you have to take these internet times with a grain of salt. A 16.6 second 1/4 is about on par for a 6th gen LS.

You said you'd be in the 13s easily with an intercooler, and pulling the motor makes the job a lot less practical for a lot of people, not everyone has an engine stand and cherry picker

I know, and if you do it makes it a lot easier.
