Default Newbie from Canada

Ya thats right Canada! Just picked up my first LS1! A Florida Car how ironic ehhh? LOL!!! Always wanted a WS6 ever since they started making them, even more once they stopped. F-Body forever now Baby! I have modified a couple cars and a half ton in my past being only 23 years old, I thought I have done alright. Saving up evey penny when your not making very much makes it even harder! They were a 81 Z28, 95 Eclipse GSX AWD turbo & 89 Chev short box. Have all of them still except the ole 81. Had to ditch when I went to school. But plans to build a 67 camaro in the future. Anyways its a 2001 WS6 Trans Am with the flollowing mods:

K&N High Induction System w/Air Filter & Bellows-Type Manifold
SLP 90mm Max Air Flow Sensor
SLP Bellows
MTI 75mm Throttle Body (ported & polished, fuel heater bypassed)
SLP Headers Long Tube
SLP Exhaust Y-Pipe
Trans-Go Shift Kit (4L60E)
Borla Exhaust System with intercooled tips
Power Exhaust Cutout for wide open exhaust at the flip of a switch
BK Performance Transmission Cooler
SLP Spring (LS6)
SLP Retainers
SLP Guides
Motive 3.42 Rear Axle Gears w/AmsOil Synthetic Gear Oil
American Racing 17" Torque Thrust D Rims (custom made, 9.5" front, 11" Rear)
New Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radial 315/35 17 Rear Tires (tire)
Eradispeed Front and Rear Brake Rotors (slotted & cross-drilled)
Hawk Brake Pads
Random Technologies Torque Arm (adjustable)
SLP Trailing Arms
SLP Panhard Bar
SLP Sub-Frames w/SLP Connectors
SLP Strut Tower Brace
SLP Traction Control System
SLP Manual Fan Switch
Draw-Tight Hitch Assembly (gives the frame more strength and rear-end protection)--not used for towing
SLP TCS Reversal Module (turns TCS off when started)
MSD Spark Plug Wires
NGK Spark Plugs (TR55)
Vigilante 3200 Stall Torque Converter
SLP Brake Control Solenoid (front)
MTI High Wall Tension Pulley
7.5in TA Stud Girdle Rear End
Optima Heavy-Duty Battery
ECU custom programmed by MTI to Match Aftermarket Parts

Have plans to put on a moser 12 bolt, Fast LSX 90/90 and a ATI P-1SC or D-1SC not sure which on yet? Still researching on the car to find out stock boosted specs etc. So there is my just of it, I am pretty excited about my new possession. I run a very busy schedule so I will try and get on here as much as possible to learn all I need to know from the LS1 guru's!

Thanks, Mike
