Default Switched LS cars ;)

Hey all,

I've been on the forums for a few years now, and as of last week I moved on to the third LS car I've owned. I love these cars and the engines, but the forums are the icing on the cake. If i ever have trouble i know right were to go for advice (be it useful or not ).

Had a 98 coupe which i sold a couple years ago:


I recently sold my 2002 z06 h/c/i 457rwhp


and I just bought a 2000 Firehawk w/ a 402ci Ls2

Actually, all three of these cars have been daily drivers. I sold the z06 and bought the firehawk to save some money. In the end the firehawk cost half what i paid for the z06 and has more power

Yes, i bought it already built. I did however change the cam and get it re-tuned. Paid 11k for the car + 1.5K for the swap and tune. It was tuned on a load bearing mustang dyno w/ 91 octane and made 444rwhp. On a dynojet it should make 510-525rwhp.

I have to agree, i like the ws-6 spoiler better. This is a Forumla Firehawk however, so no dice. However, i think many a ws-6 may get to see my tail end
