@Patriot Motorsports - are you saying there is some difference in the engine build from the factory, LT1 vs. SS? Or a difference in the Tremec ratios between an LT1 and SS? My research shows no difference between the ratios on the LT1/SS, but for the ZL1 and ZLE the ratios (and torque capacity) are different (

@DeuceCam - I def want some track experience, as for competitive racing that will depend on a few things, but my short answer is: most likely, yes. As stated previously, I'm a professional mechanic, so I'll be doing everything myself, to include any engine mods/rebuilds.
@TransAmGTA350 - I agree with your assessment. Seat time first. The reason I've brought up the tires is that I want to upgrade my wheels/tires for the street, but in doing so, I'd have to run something other than FS or be forced to run the stock wheel size on track, based on the rules (as I understand it).
