Default New guy checking in

Just thought I'd break my s/n in and post up to say hey.
As you can tell, picked up an 02 SOM SS. Bought it about 2 months ago and have been loving it since.
Car was stone stock when I got it, so far I've gotten a 160* stat, smooth bellows, ProKit, some Predator tweaking and some serious undercarriage detailing done on it.
SLP options on it are CME, Chrome 10 spokes, Bilsteins, portfolio and key fobs.
Odd note about the car, it was owned by a GM exec prior to myself, so I'm having a hard time deciding what to do with it-keep it stock or mod to enjoy...you can probably tell which side is winning so far-I am keeping all the stock parts off of it though
Hopefully before it hits the road next spring I'll have some longtubes, ORY and a nice set of 18/19" wheels on it.
Wheel choices are slimmed down somewhat, trying to decide between:
CCW 505A's in 19"-these look killer on T/A's, but idk about them on Camaro's.

Anyone have any thoughts? I'll post up some pics later if you guys want to see them.
