New Ls1 man.

Hey everyone, new to site, looks very informative and I need info as I just traded my Big mudracer for a 2000 Trans Am Ws6 with the Ls1 as you already know it has. I have built a lot of cars and trucks for others also myself in the 110 range for some kind of something fast. But mostly old school, so want to learn all the info I can to start to buils my car the right way. Pretty much all stock except aftermarket brakes f/back. So hope to learn all I can from you guys, the fun is just beginning for me in the LS world. Thanks. Rick.

Not much done to the car yet, mostly rotor/caliper/brake upgrade, strut bar and a different wider rear spoiler. Also trans has been rebuilt with shift kit and upgraded sprags. Normal K/N filter. Looking for ideas and also posted that I have a thumping noise under drivers floor when I did a burnout tonight, not sure if it is bushings wore out or what, will find when I can get in my garage.

I thought it was a factory rear spoiler too until the last owner said he changed it for an aftermarket wider one, so I went and looked at a friends 2000 convertible and his is narrower, is a hardtop different. Not sure what to think. it looks factory to me.
