Still figuring this place out, but I've got pics on the way. I'm planning on doing my own true dual exhaust out of what's on it, along with another stock LS1 F-body catback, over the axle and into a GMMG-type setup, only with two 18" bullets instead of chambers... I love GMMG's sound, but I just CAN'T afford $700 at the moment!

Oh yeah... also planning on a decent lid, headers, MAF, LS6 intake, big TB, 36-lb injectors(if I need them, dunno), SFCs, better torque arm, tubular K-member/ A-arms, and maybe a Ford 9" in the back with a TrueTrac and 3.89 gears. Who knows, I may even cam it a little... this is my wife's work car, so I can't go too crazy on it.

well ya probably won't need 36lb injectors with the set up you're lookin at. (There's a couple guys on here runnin okay with 28lb injectors on a stroked heads/cammed 383!!) Also don't bother with a MAF change unless yours is damaged, there's not really any worthwhile gain associated with it, depsite what SLP will tell you. I mean unless you're going to go with a 90mm intake mani system, in which case you may want to bump it up to an 85 or 90mm MAF. Definetely go the route of lid/headers though, and maybe even a free mod or two, such as FRA. Big fan of the Free Ram Air right here. anyway keep us up to date! adios.

Thanks, y'all. Glad to be here.

Hey, thanks for clearing me up on the bigger injector thingy. Far as the MAF goes, I doubt I'll get an SLP one anywho... thinking more along the lines of one off a truck, or de-screening mine(though I've heard it throws codes, and if so, I won't do it). Or if I can find a deal on a Granatelli unit, I'll do that.
