First off, I love my V. I have put close to 30k on it in the past 2 years. The car never skipped a beat. Besides a leaking radiator when I initially bought the car, 2 broken rear sail panels (after my first high speed highway blast with the windows down) and a dif replaced because it was a little loud. The car has been perfect.
Up until 2 months ago I kept it bone stock. I finally got around to installing a Katech short shifter, uuc bushings, trans mount and rear differential bushing. It really made me fall in love with the car all over again. A ton of the slop was removed from the drivetrain with very little compromise in that Cadillac feel.
Not to mention, with the stock rims wrapped in RE11s this car is a lot of fun around town.
So much fun that one of these big boxes showed up. Its a polished unit with a 90mm adapter. I thought that I would slap it on, add headers and uuc motor mounts (have, but need to return for the second revision UUC did on the mounts) and call it quits on power mods for a while.
Ready to go...I thought. Now it looks like I am going to be driving at least 75 miles a day for the next 9 months for work. I KNOW I can't live with the power level I am at for 9 more months
So I am thinking, I should sell my stuff, trade-in the car and pickup a new V.
I'll have a new full warranty and a ton more power/tech then our V but for a ton more money. With the amount of driving I am going to be doing, the car is going to take a huge depreciation hit due to the mileage. Life is short though, right?
I know plenty of people have pulled off Fi with the LS6 and the maggie kit is pretty proven but i'm thinking I should stick with the good luck I have had with GM and buy one that comes with the boost in power from the factory.
That or sell the blower, buy an LS7 and a madmen rear end and live with the buildup downtime
