Like you fire, I am getting real anxious about doing this. Problem is, If I do it, I want to do it right. That means oil pump and converter at least which will push me around 1100 on top of that 2k.
... not to mention very limited experience in VVT in Orlando. Everyone wants to do the conversion or hangs up on you.

shop around, you can get a converter cheaper than that... I have the benefit of having a well known converter shop here in town:
PTC(Performance torque converters)... they've helped 10.5 Outlaw cars run low 6s @ 225+ and most of the monster trucks on the USHRA series run them, a quality torque converter... it helps that some of my close friends that are gear heads build converters there, so I can get a great deal
I'm torn on stalling the L99 simply because of the drop in MPGs... with the 3200 stall, Ls1 f-bodies lose 3-4mpgs... plus it really does hurt the driveability... no denying their performance on the street, but IMO not the best mod for a daily driver or in my case weekend toy that gets driven often
