Default New to LS1Tech...

Hey folks, my name is Wilson...proud owner of my first muscle car after years of messing with imports. I have a 2000 pontiac trans am with WS6 rear hatch, SLP intake and headers, torque arm, LCA, line lock, magnaflow exhaust, american racing torque thrusts, B&M ripshifter, and its either got coilovers or lowering springs i havent really had time to look, but i know its lowered. I purchased the car with all those mods, i plan on dropping a semi-built LS3 and im currently torn between turbo or n/a and spraying....i already have the motor so ima take my time and do everything right. It is my daily wit only 87k miles on it, only mod ive done is learn to drive it and HIDs......any advice would be welcome and i know i am a noob to LS motors but not to performance cars ive owned two subaru STIs and an all motor built Civic.

Nice Welcome to the Club I''M not sure if you mentioned a M6 or auto? In all cases make sure your rean end,drive shaft and flywheel take the added power you'll make. for the most part it looks like a good start with the LS3.
