All that I know of for mods are-
-SLP Intake
-SLP Long Tube Headers
-Magnaflow Catback (minus the cats)
It's a WS6 6 spd with the Ram Air hood. The guy I got it from said it was tuned, but I can't prove it? When I put in the new starter this weekend I am going to fix the front turning signals (new lenses, bulbs and sockets). Then the next project is figuring out why the gas gauge doesn't work- that's getting old lol

And paint the front bumper, that's embarrassing
I'm hoping the electrical problems are sorted out, will know if it starts every time after Saturday!!!

*****UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!*****
This is a little important! The mini starter I got off ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-LS2-LS3-...-/370735060483
WILL bolt up to an LS1, but WILL NOT engage with the flywheel!!! On my 2002 T/A 6 spd anyway. I got everything all mounted and pretty, turned the key and all I got was "THUNK". The pinion(?) gear comes out and hits the flywheel
Thought I would spare other people the headache lol. I then went to Advance Auto and got a high torque starter (new- lifetime warranty) for a 2000-2005 Silverado/Tahoe/Yukon with the 6.0L and that works perfectly
I did have to get new starter bolts (GM part #11610787) but that was an easy one- shout out to AutoNation Chevy in Clearwater!!! They have had every part IN STOCK I have needed!
All that said, I now have a high torque mini starter I can no longer use! If you know of someone that might be interested please let me know! I can't send it back, but I would like to try and recoup a little of what I spent on it? I tried it three times, and three THUNKs. That's the extent of its use!!!
I also sanded the crap out of my front bumper and repainted it- two coats of primer and 5 cans of BGM0490 Pewter Metallic touch up paint lol
Tried to clear coat it but it's too rough- have to sand it down with 1000-2000 grit and then coat it. Looks waaaaay better, not pro quality but it will do for now
And I now have front turning signals- got these off ebay too:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/98-02-PONTIA...-/141038572230
Fair price, excellent quality, great seller. One thing though- one of the mounting holes isn't drilled deep enough and I ended up snapping off the mounting screw on one trying to tighten it down. Have to fix that someday...
On a side note, I am FULLY convinced this car was in a front end collision! And if I ever come across the DUMBASS that hob-cobbled the front back together I will have a few things to say to him...

Got many other little things to take care of, but at least it's reliable again! Hope some of this helps someone someday![Thumb](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/thumb.gif)
