Noob from Dallas Just got my 02 WS6. Traded in my wife of 2 years. I think I came out ahead in the deal..... Anyways, I've been wanting a WS6 for years now and its finally happened. Now that I joined here I guess the next thing to do is the typical car forum thing and put a pic of my car in my sig line.
As for the car its straight up factory, I need to change that. Wouldn't mind getting out to meet some other LS1 owners to get some ideas and tips from. I have a lot of free time on my hands now so whatever gets me out of the house helps. BTW when it comes to technical information I know nothing about that crap. So if anyone would like to bash a noob I'm here for ya.

Welcome to the site. You can learn alot here.
Start off with a lid then think about some headers.
If its an auto (often called an A4) start looking at stalls (torque converters)

Unfortunately it is an auto. I've been driving a manual Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins turbo diesel the past 2 years in rush our traffic in Dallas - basically like driving in a crowded parking lot. I got tired of shifting so I decided to lose some of my manhood and go auto with this one.

what part of Dallas are you in? I just got mine a 2002 silver WS6 A4 back in january and have done the lid,K&N filter, and cutout at first and ran ok at the track but the car is a animal from a 60 punch (whooped a couple of newer vette's) but I now have a Yank 4000 stall,long tube headers and true duals and it's a monster! you might want something a little smaller especially if you don't race much? like a 3200-3600 stall and exhaust and a tune and you will be realy happy..................unless...............

For right now I don't know what direction I want to take the car exactly. Well, I take that back, I know what direction I want to take it just don't know how FAR I want to take it. Faster and louder is always better in my opinion.

hey man, sorry to hear bout the whole divorce situation, but sounds like your not too unhappy with the outcome, so that's good. I'm from Garland, and I have a 98 formula ws6, but I as well as my baby are currently in College Station (I go to A&M) I have two really good friends who live at independence and custer, so I'll let you know if I ever make a trip up there to see them. But I agree with everyone else - start with a lid (or K&N FIPK, if you'd prefer to go that route) both of which are relatively easy installs to get more horsepower out of your intake. After that, like some people said, start lookin at headers and exhaust. SLP loudmouth is the loudest from what I've heard, though my Borla gets prety loud with the restrictor plate removed. Good luck modding and happy hunting 
Lemme know if you ever need help with anything.
