Default Hello

Hey guys,
Im new to the LS community but not to car mods. A little history about my car experience. A few years ago I purchased a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon SE. It was equipped with a 2.7 delta V6 DOHC. A few weeks ago my wife and I were in a car wreck and it was totaled. Thankfully no one was hurt except the car. Also, it looks like all the mods can be taken off and resold.

Now you might be wondering why I am on this forum coming for the tuner community, well I am glad you asked. After searching the inter webs I came across a mint 2000 Camaro SS SLP (a true SS SLP). I am the third owner of the car. The second owner changed the SLP headers for long tubes I believe, not sure of the brand though. The car is an A4 and the OD just turned over 92000 original miles. In a while I will try and up load some pics of the car.

I already enjoy the way the car pulls. It definitely needs better throttle response. The tranny is a little slow on the down shift but a programmer will take care of that. The guy I bought it from said the transmission had some work but I am not sure what all was done to it. I will try and call the shop that did the work so I can get a better idea of how much it can handle. I have a feeling the weak link will be the 10 bolt rear end.
