Default Got a Formula!

Just picked up my second LS1, first Pontiac. I never thought of myself as a Firebird guy but its not so bad. It was in my price range and close enough to me, so I thought "what the hell". It was $5000 w/99K miles. Needs a few minor things but nothing big.

Don't really have a complete mod list, but the majors are:

Volant intake
Coated Pacesetters w/TSP X pipe and Dynomax dumps.
Fuddle (coming out) w/rebuilt trans and cooler.
Other little misc. things that I can't remember off hand.

This is one of his pics, I won't have any as its in storage now.

1st thing I'm doing is paying it off - I owe $2900 on it. That should be done before the snow melts and it comes out of storage. After that there are 4 major things it needs - LS6 intake, better converter, tune, and the Strano brake kit.

I'm taking a different approach to this one - buy as much stuff as possible used.

Good job! Another Formula! I was about to buy a Red TA when I was looking for an LS1 but something told me not to. A month later I found my Formula, 55K mi. Glad to see there's one more on here.
