Looks like it needs a bit of a drop in the front end. Maybe some bigger wheels too. Are those the 16" wheels or the 17" WS6 wheels?

Upgrade to hardened pushrods since you will be into higher RPM more often.

I'm not sure about your spring choice. I believe that cam is on the limits of what the LS6 springs can handle. Do some more searching in the "Internal Engine" section to confirm that they'll be o.k.

Also, might as well install new valve seals. It's not much extra work while your in there.

Good luck! That cam should really wake it up.

Got some new rims...

17" ZR1's. They were gunmetal when I got them, did a test fit and liked the look of the wheel, but wanted a diff colour :




So we sanded them up :



Ended up Semi-gloss black, with the tint, and lowering of it next year should look very stealth :




Better pics are on Cam, but to lazy to upload em right now.

ZR1's will look good.

Make sure you keep all your emissions stuff on the car when you start modding it. I don't want you to get bent over by the MOE like I did.

Looks good Bob. I too will be getting my hands on a set of Pacesetter LT's. Vetty was telling me the Pacesetter Y is no good, any thoughts? I was debating getting it with the headers because one of my buddies is the head honcho at Noyz Boyz here in Scarborough.

For the LT1? Im not sure, I've never head anything about the Y's... :S. Noyz Boyz, heard goo things, should get them to get ya it all set up...if they know the flaws with that Y I'm sure they could fab it up to flow better
