Default 98 TA goes to tuner for the first time.

HAd my 98 TA since April of 05. Put the CheaTR cam and a few small bolt-ons around that time. Today I dropped off the car at Synergy Motorsports. Here's the to-do list:

1)Trans rebuild/repair (103,xxx miles and i hit something)
2) 4.10s
3) Tune/Dyno (i'll finally get some #s!, and pass CA SMOG!!)

Mods are in sig. I'll know by monday when i get her back from the tuner.

This is round one. At the end of the summer, I'm throwing on an LS6 intake, QTP LTs/catted Y, and re-tuning.

WOOT. Just excited, thats all.

I know, i know "intake/exhaust first". I have my reasons. Its a little bass-ackwards, but the LTs are sittin in the garage and WILL NOT pass CA visual inspections. I got a REALLY good deal on the cam about 2 years ago, and the CheaTR works well with stock manifolds. I know im missing on my cars potential, thats why im doing intake/exhaust within the next couple months. Money is an issue, too.

I'll send you a pm on Monday, we're gonna discuss a few things first. Rick looked REALLY busy on saturday (I've never seen soooo many LSx cars in one place before ) and i really just "dropped it off".
