for that power goal the benefits of a Z6 over the Y7 aren't going to have a huge impact. both are going to require the same level of modification and upgrading to hit that goal so stick with the one you've got.

but do look for a transmission from a Z6 or Y8 (EX) when you are gathering parts for the auto/manual conversion. that's going to be worthwhile.
