Meh, my S was at 40k exactly when it rolled in for the swap. The LS1 I got only had 32k on it. All that matters is what do you want out of the car. With the Vortech kit I wasn't happy. Having to have the rpms up so high to feel it and then for such a short powerband. Now I've got power everywhere and you can't beat the sound of a V8.
I looked up an old build thread of yours, but it was a dead link to v8s2000 I think. Do you have any other build info?

Crap, add another $1k for plug & play wiring harness

It's not cheap, but compared to forced induction it's in the same ballpark. I believe it's way way more fun to drive.
