Two ways (at least) to go:

1LE, PEDDERIZED, breathed on (underhood)

...or...

1LE, MRC, bhp (LS3+, LS7, LT-1)

BOTH would split the $40 (1LE) to $54 (ZL1) starting points, both would exceed the 1LE, and (depending on venue) both would eagerly chase BIG Brother (ZL1)...
I like your #1. We can mod the 1LE ourselves or Chevy can fill in the gaps and put the badge on. The Z28 is heading in the direction of a more intense track car.

#2 will get expensive fast. MRC adds to the expense and makes it difficult for us to make "improvements". Also does a Z28 want to baby its driver with a nice ride? And doesn't MRC complicate entering in real track events?

But then again maybe it doesn't so much now if the Z28 comes in at ZL1 dollars. There already is a "bargain" track car.
