That's one hell of a transformation! You gotta let us know how it rides later, along with follow-up pics.
If you don't mind me asking- how much did the whole setup set you back?

The car looks great man.
Its nice to see I'm not the only one wisely spending my tax free deployment dollars
Iraq bought my WS6, and Afghanistan will be funding a whole new setup

i think it set me back a little over 3k for all of it.
and it rides so much better a complete different car really, still need to install rear springs when they come in.
only drove it about 40 miles before i swapped the ls6 intake for a 102/102 combo with a 100mm maf and 104 ftp lid, and after the swap the 408 ran like **** and didnt have a chance to get it tuned befor i left again for japan. so fot the next 10 months it will sit in the garage waiting for the new stg 3 lq9 heads, texas giant cam and a tune, then ill be able to enjoy the car again

Gotta love a pile of parts! Re-doing my suspension mess now to Koni/Strano and UMI.
