Just got my first LS1 and I am excited! 2001 Camaro, White and just picked it up and drove it home. SWEET!! It is an SS Clone and I am working on getting the hood. Got all the badges and the trunk just need the finishing touches. Can't wait to take it to the track on Friday night to see what it will do before it goes to the shop - It has a stall and a gear for now but mama likes loud and it is really needing a cam and exhaust.

Welcome to the site. Stall and gears are the best mods for the autos. Happy modding, lots of awesome tech data on this site. Do some reading in the drag racing forum here to learn some good techniques to cut good times at the track.
