    LS3 or M20 Turbo Stroker?

    Summers finally rolling around and I need to decide what to do with my car. I've narrowed it down to either a 3.0 stroker w/ a turbo making around 500, or I'll be getting a stock LS3 and leaving it like that for a while. My budget is around 15k. Please help me decide! Any info will help. Thanks in advance.

    Or if anyone knows a reputable place in Colorado or the Internet for a m50 that would be great!

      A 500HP 3.0 M20 turbo will wear down quicker than an LS3 making 500HP.
      My vote would be a 500HP LS3 and I own an M20 2.7L turbo.

      Now, if a 500HP 24v M/S5X turbo was an option, I would choose that over the two considering a few vendors have cracked the stock ECU to make 500HP a reliable cakewalk on these motors and I get more enjoyment from f/i cars rather big liter n/a cars.

        Do you know of a reputable place that sells 24v motors? I'm really interested doing exactly that.
