Default WHOOO got me an LS1!!!!!

Well, I been lingering enough and I've decided that it will be more beneficial to join!

I just got my 98 z28 with 114k miles a couple weeks ago. Traded my 07 cbr1000rr that I paid $3600 lol!!!! The car is overall a really clean car I actually got it from an older gentlemen (58). The day I picked it up was the first day the car has ever touched snow and it will remain that way. Right now I got it blocked up and ready for winter!!!

Anyways enough with the bibliography and heres some of the mods and future goals for the car!

Auburn 3.73
Shift kit
Power programmer III
Belmont exhaust (never heard of it, any info?)
Spohn Tunnel Brace

Future goals consist of pnp ls6 heads, cam (hoping for a custom grind), Intake (undecided), under drive pulley kit, Headers, True duals, Cold air intake, And all the suspension goodies!!!!!

Most of all I want to get a 6spd. Yes, its an auto ;'(. But I figure once it takes a crap I'll just park it and slap it in!

Thanks guys! I'm really excited about it. I can't wait to get it going and see my final results! I do need to do alot of research since I only have a basic idea of what I'm wanting. But I'm wanting the best and I need to find the best parts to match together!!!

Welcome, you'll find plenty of ways to enjoy your car even more.

FYI I'd skip the PP3, it's waste of money.

It actually came with the car when I traded for it. Will it be of any benefit right now to use it? Or should I sell it and get the money for it?

I know in the long run I'm going to end up needing a tune so I'm positive atleast at that point it would be useless for me to possess
