15K is reasonable but i went with a new engine.
Dont go over a LS3. I run a hot cammed LS3 (GMPP LS376/480) rated by GM at 495 hp and I cant keep tires planted in 1st and have trouble keeping it in a straight line in second and I have 35" tires. The stock suspension isnt strong enough for this. If I did that vid with the 0-60 run the cam would end up being pointed at the sky not the road.

If I ever get to the point where I might replace my I5 I'd consider a GenIV 4.8L engine also. Drop in a cam and you can still get decent HP and don't have to deal with the AFM/ DoD complications in the larger displacement versions of LS engines.
