Maybe worth noting that a "500" package can be broken up into consecutive "phases". With all the associated "phase-I" trimmings (except the head porting - call it "phase-II", if you will) the result will be about 80+% of the entire "500 hp" package for approx 40% of the total cost investment to complete the entire package (with the exception of plenum and IH gaskets).

What that means is you can get around 390-400 rwhp (w/ exhaust, tuning, etc.) without loosing the investment should you decide to complete the package later. Think of it this way: This will give you about 20 to 30 more peak rwhp than a stock LS3 C6...AND, that's before finishing the head work (if that interests you!)

Gotta LUV the LT5!
