Ok, I have an 02 collector edition TA convertable... I want to make it sound nice, and by nice I want it to sound Mean. I also want it to be fast, but not like, pro fast where i have to worry about weight of the car, I just want to be able to hold my own. I have been told that there is a LS1 to LS6 upgrade kit out there somewhere, but no matter how hard I try, I cant find exactly something that im confident is what im looking for. I also would like to put a turbo on my car, but the only people I can find to do it is STS, and its a rear wheel. What are all you PRO's thoughts about this, what suggestions do you have for me. PLZ HELP ME!! thanks!

Look up at the top of the page to the sticky that says "So you want to be fast" and read the WHOLE thing. That will answer about 99% of your questions. Don't mean to be a dick but you need to read those before posting and btw a turbo is not a mild setup by any means unless you count replacing fuel, rear, tune, routing exhaust ect. ect. that and the fact a decent turbo install + kit is going to be well over 10,000 when done.

Another good sticky is the exhaust and induction guide, in the external forum.

You can just add LS6 heads and cam, but that would be kind of a waste of money IMO.

I would get a nice lil TR224 cam, this cam puts out great power and is extremely streetable. If you want it loud get it on a 112 LSA if you want it not so loud get a 114 LSA. That cam will work good with your stock 241 heads. Your motor already has the LS6 intake.
Get a set of some Hooker SuperComp Headers and a nice Magnaflow or something.

Thats what i would suggest.
