About $1000 for tube k member + A arms for a weight reduction of 30-40 lb, what a waste.

If this was a turbo build I could understand but this is not the case.
Dude it's not a waste. The suspension articulation is much improved with those rod end and the amount of room to work around the engine is ridonkulous!

33 lbs. off the front of a car that sees the drag strip is quite an improvement. My car handles excellent on the street as well.

Better yet just poll it.

Would you place a mod on your car that would significantly hinder performance, such as HP, TQ, handling ...etc.... yes no ? and you'll get your "opinions".
the horsepower show on power block tv on spike channel put an air ride suspension on a 4th gen camaro...they ran road course, did a braking test among other things and the air ride out performed the stock supension in very category. it may not be your style, or mine for that matter, but you gotta admire the quality of work and the imagination it takes to create something like that. its the same as a drag racer not liking a road course car, in the end who ******* cares aint your car!

Thats nothing to brag about, the stock suspension (mainly the shocks really) is down right horrible.
Simple bolt in suspension (strano/koni setup) with sticky tires and you can run with C5 Z06s...

I bought the car a 1year 1/2 ago stock...Didn't know anything about ls1s. Just listed everything I did withen that time...That was also around the time I won my first major bodybuilding show. It was an awesome year... So when I discovered this site I just posted everything. It is time to update I agree.
I tell you what though..... nothing like getting outta a muscle car in the middle of summer with a tan looking like this... I can tell you that
I fit the description of my car better than most do. Muscle, symetry, defined, depth...ect. Go ahead and hate on my ego

This was called Bodyz of the NATURAL pysique because it was a drug tested event. If it's not a "natural" competition, I won't compete. I'm certified in personal training and sports nutrition so I decided to put my knowledge to the test. I started my diet at 220lbs. 10 of the hardest weeks I've ever faced later..I was 185lbs the day of the show, which is this pic. It's not steroids...the muscle their.. it's knowing how to diet to display it.(no carbs)

185lbs..just right....not too bulky or crazy looking...a steroid infested bodybuilder will be around +-245lbs with hardly any bodyfat unreal looking
Updated pics will be this July...I bought a house this last year and was unable to compete...Along with 2 daughters and a wife.. No need to argue here right...
