Why not maximize your potential? Why not make it easier to move the weight? Might as well be

so it is realy a money thing what do u want to spend and how fast do u want to go.

yeah research research research- Where can i find good 6.0's for like $1500 and less? Can i find them (ECU / wiring harness/ complete oilpan to intake manifold....?) Do they run a 4l80e?- Once again CAN THEY HANDLE 10 to 15 PSI PRETTY WELL? or do i need to get better fuel system?

If you've got a high stall, and a powerful drivetrain, there's nothing wrong with tall gears. That just means you'll hook up better.
For example, an A4 LS1 with a 3000 stall will beat an M6 LS1, all other things being equal. Don't be afraid to go with 3.09s or even 2.73s, there are plenty of 2.73 people doing 12s and high 11s out there.

As long as it's not a freeway race
