Default Opinion of LS build

This is on my `99 Trans Am. The LS1 is tired and I'm getting some blowby at 374,000 miles. Still runs incredible but I'm looking for some opinions on rebuilding.

I have a quote from a shop for 10k to stroke , cam, headers, rebuild heads and all the associated parts that go with that ... along with a tune - obviously.

Part of me wants to do it, but it's my daily driver. Everything else on the car is in great shape. I've kept it up over the past 18 years, so it's worth keeping it going. But it's also a few grand over my budget.

My thought going into it was to go with a LQ9 364 (450HP) but I really don't want that extra weight from that iron block.
