New LS1 owner checking in Just bought my 99 Trans Am yesterday. I love it! My previous car was a 96 3.8L Firebird. Had lots of fun in it but I always wanted more. Now I got the Trans Am that's starting a few tenths ahead of where I left off with the bird (best time in the bird was a 14.01 babying it thru the shifts). I'm definately not going the nitrous route with the Trans Am, in fact, I don't want to go too far with it at least for a while. I just wanna enjoy my leather, t-tops, and monster power. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Here's a few pics of my car if anyone's interrested:

The engine bay needs some cleaning. The previous owner was an older geeky lookin guy that I seriously doubt had ever put the pedal on the floor once. What's the easiest way to clean all that up??

Re: New LS1 owner checking in Welcome! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> As for cleaning the engine bay,I spray the engine down to get it wet, then i spray some Simple Green whereever, let it sit for like 1 min and then hose it off. It does a decent job. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: New LS1 owner checking in Welcome to the fold! Dig your 'bird...it looks IDENTICAL to mine with exception to the wheels. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
I use Gunk engine brite (foamy version) on my engine. I spray it on sparingly, and I try to keep it off the electronics and any paint if at all possible. I allow it to set for five minutes, then I use a spray bottle of water to rinse it off.
