What's next?? Hey all!
I just bought an 02 ws6 with 9k miles on it.. I am totally new to the LS world as I just sold my jeep ( so coming from an offroad world ).. So I really don't know the weak points and what I should do next to it. It has a bunch of things done to it already which Ill list for you all..
- Trick flow ported heads
- Comp Camshaft
- Harland Sharp roller rockers
- Fast 90mm intake manifold ported
- Nick Williams 90mm TB
- SLP air intake
- SLP underdrive pulley
- T56 built
- Kooks true dual headers and exhaust
- Motor and trans Urethane mounts
- Walbro 400 fuel pump
- F.I.C. 43lb injectors
It also has a built rear and a bunch of supension goodies..
What I am looking for, what are some things I should be looking to do to the engine next?
Thank you for the input!

It's gonna explode!!!! Lol, very nice score. You do realize that nothing actually exists unless there are pics of it. I'm sure you'll get more people to chime in but it sounds like you just might want to enjoy it for awhile before looking to do more to it. Sounds like somebody already did a pretty good job with it.

Yep Texas Speed is a pretty big name in the business. If I were you I'd call them and find out all the other small details and when it was all done. I'd start there
You know what you do to something that looks that good and puts down those numbers?
Nothing.
....maybe upgrade the radio and speakers and call it a day. Someone else has already done the work for you!

If it doesn't have a good set of drag radials might want to get some with all the power you are making you will need it.

This "built rear" means a lot of things to different people.
If you are new to the LS scene and F-bodies, you may not know that the factory 10-bolt rear is woefully inadequate. Furthermore, if someone added a bunch of hard parts to upgrade the 10-bolt, you have an excellent foundation.....to sell to someone with an automatic. Hard launches in a stick shift car with a set of drag radials will kill it rather quickly. Sell it while it's worth something and get a better axle.
If you already have a 12-bolt, 9-inch or S60, you're much better off, but even a 12-bolt will not often take kindly to hard launches on a good tire. Research shows they hold up, but the gears can get rather noisy over time. No big deal if you plan to take it to the track every weekend, much more of a nuisance if you plan to go once or twice then drive it regularly or over long distances.

Catch can
Manual tensioner
Clutch? (didn't see it listed)
Master Cylinder? (didn't see it listed)
And a fresh set of plugs so you can see how she's been running
Great looking car, though!
