New to LS1's with a 2000 SS

Whats up guys. Just saying hey, and gonna show off a pic of my car. I bought it with a LS6 intake, Pacesetter long tube headers, true dual exhaust over the axle with borla mufflers, Spec stage 2 clutch, upgraded hydraulics, hurst short throw shifter, upgraded T56, 17" Torque Thrust's with 315Nitto drag radials out back, and has been dyno tuned and put down 340 at the wheels. So any ways like I said I'm new to all this but I'm loving every minute of it. So here's a pic of the car.

So if anyone has any tips for a first time owner of a camaro/LS1 let me know!

Welcome to the 2000 SS world. I just recently bought my third f-body also. Mine is also a 2000 SS. Let the modding begin.

Hey there z28 monster it actually has Borla exhaust, but for some reason I put magnaflow down? I just got done reading a thread about magnaflow and I guess it was on my mind. Sorry about that

Zaino is a car polish. It will make your ride look 10x better.

Might I ask if you have many etches or rock chips on the rear fender? I've only had 315 Nitto DRs on for 500 miles or so but they fling little rocks and they hit the bumper panel

Nah I havent noticed any on the rear quarters, but I know what you mean about all the little rocks gettin slung up. I know there is a few on the hood and bumper, is the paint weak up there on these cars?

I'm from Alabama. I dont think the dyno numbers do it respect either. It is a very fast car for nothing but bolt-ons. I dont think I'm going to lower it I like the way it rides now
