Default Love my LS4

I love my car, idk why just had the urge to say that. I've got some miles on my Tripple Edge trans, so I've been rolling into it a little and the shifts are instantaneous with out being harsh. Well I think, the tires are spinning a lil before it goes into second.
I don't have room in the driveway for a toy, so my duel purpose grocery getter will have to do for a couple more years. I've got a few more things to do under the hood, and then I'll start working on the suspension.
I wouldn't mind hitting a MVP track time event next year.
Anyway just sayin love my car.

Yeah... Apparently you need to have a college degree to be smart enough to buy an LT1 over an LS1.

Im getting ready to finally install my custom sway bar endlinks, poly motor mount and ls1 intake soo with a couple tricks i did that i havent seen in any google search. people love the GXP and regardless of its rep im holding steady at 74000 miles stock tranny. These cars get stupid reps IMO because people dont want to accept that when driveline componets and heat and wear and tear happen on a 300+ stock car that bad things happen sooner than later.

I do believe I watched you become prejustice against LT1's over the last couple of days. Oddly enuff in high school there was a couple of guys with mustangs, very similar situation just no Internet. And now I still have this incredible disdain for mustangs.

I needed a 4 door car. The price was right, and I'm use to wrenching on LS motors. On a side note I'm pretty sure I have the slowest boosted LS4 out there, so I'm not to sure if your directing that at me or at my LS4 brothers out there?

I don't drink, but I was up for a touch over 30 hours strait. So yeah it does look like a drunk posting.

It's all good.
I've got a mess under the hood right now, with any luck I'll have it buttoned up this spring.

I know how that goes. Been working on my junk for months now. I am to the point where I don't even feel like working on it. It's really close to being done too which is the sad part.

To answer your question, I was poking fun at your other LS4 brothers on here.

X2 on turbo engine bay pics!

I'm not that good with the tuner, but it was easy. I think it was 2 credits to unluck the 2 bar os, and do a complete rewrite, I used a wide band to dial in the VE table. I ditched the maf and other than a little surging when cold its great. I think I could get rid of it if I spent a little more time on the ve table. And I do believe you can still use the maf with the 2 bar. Technicaly I think it's 2 1/2?
