Default Fresh Meat!

Whats up everyone. I figure since i have been lurking around the boards a while grabbing info i might as well introduce myself. Im Tom, 24, in the military stationed in VA. I got a 2001 M6 Black TA a couple of months back when i got back from Kuwait. Heres whats going on with it so far:

Has Pacesetter LT's, TD's, SLP Lid, Hurt Pro 5.0 Shifter and WS6 wheels and stock tune. Here are some pics Cardomain Page

I have on order or am about to pick up in the next week: LS6 heads that are port/polish, Cam - TSP Magic Stick V.3 237/242 .603/.609" 113LSA, LSX 90mm intake and NW 90mm TB.

Thats all that i have planned as of right now with maybe a MAF wet kit later down the road. I have a bit of oil smoke coming out after hard runs so i think it maybe be time for some rings while all this stuff is off, but we'll see once it gets torn down.

BTW: Awesome site, dont think i have ever seen one more friendly with as much technical information.

Ohh definately. Have been checking out the Moser 12 bolts, unsure of what axels and stuff yet. Also will be going throught the tranny soon to upgrade the forks/sliders and a few other things.

I have a Moser 12bolt, lemme recommend the 33 spline axles with a TrueTrac. I have a spool in mine but its pretty harsh with street tires.
