Your choice is your own ppl just dont do it cause its gay. Its funny you talk about you have more money in your drivetrain then a built sr. My version of a properly built sr would prob be 15k just in the engine. So no your drivetrain will not be more money. Why would you even upgrade it if the clutch and tranny are more then perfect for what you want be smart and put the money into some other part of the car. Dont waste your money to replace something thats perfect.
No I didnt say I have more money in my drivetrain than a built SR, I said i've got about the same into it as a properly done sr swap, as in just a basic motorset, fmic, clutch, radiator.. To compare, about $3k, engine/trans/clutch/cam upgrade, maybe 3500... for a 420 or so rwhp setup, with a NEW LS7 corvette clutch, a 6 spd manual with two overdrive gears and the ability to handle a hell of a lot of power, an alternator that puts out 155 amps, etc...
Uhh are you really trying to say the SR clutch and transmission are perfect ? Sorry but again at the levels of power i'll be putting down the stock SR transmission will be about as useful as a T5, and the itty bitty teeenie clutch is far from perfect also.
