^^ i think thats the first time ive heard someone say that they hate the how the v8 sounds...

but yeah id say go with the LSx its gonna be expensive but i cant imagine building a ka-t for 400whp and making a 6spd tranny for it will be cheap either
....i actually recently asked for a quote for an ls1 and it turned out to be around 10k but u might be able to get it cheaper
... also for the LSx it will have better mpg and it wont be as hard to get the power ur looking to get.
the ka-t will probably be boosting pretty significantly which will beat on the motor
and the LSx wont be as much to maintain and it is a newer motor and will probably be more reliable (although it is made by chevy =/)

but thats just my 2 cents =) good luck with whichever u do keep us updated
