Default Procharged SOM WS6

Well, I thought I could start posting here instead of lurking and learning. Friday, I flew from MN to MI to get my first LS1 car.

It is a 2001 Trans Am WS6 with a D1SC Procharger. I bought the car from another member of the forum. He had a post in the FI section with the 475.3 HP dyno numbers on a Mustang. I am new to the FI part, but absolutely love driving the car.

I drove it 750 miles home, with the a/c on and a load of parts in the back and got 27 mpg! I have been out of the streets a little bit and the car is a blast. I need to get a 9" but I am sure that will soon come. Just thought I would throw a few pics up and try to become a "true member" of the forum.

I also got a set of 18" C5 Z06 rims. The two rear tires are bald and I should be getting tires this week and will get those posted with the rims and after I wax the car. I was able to wash it a bit today. The pics were taken slightly afterthat. I haven't looked into the whole photoshopping of pictures so they probably aren't the best.

I have seen a bunch of your posts on here as well as on the MN F-body site.

It will take a little time, but as soon as I get a 9", I will be taking it to Cedar Falls to see what it runs.

The last owner never had the car to the strip. He had it tuned last Monday and I picked it up on Friday. I bought the car, drove it for a while and then put the Procharger on. I think he only put 800 miles on the car.

I am in Rochester. I haven't used IM in some time. I might have to start using that again. I will have to see what I am up to this weekend. There is some people in the cities that I need to see. So I might see a possible trip up there. I will keep in touch.

Thank you for the info. I will have to consider that. I would like to keep the factory wheels and just to have another set laying around in case something happened, but that is quite a bit of money there.

I would like to buy the 9", driveshaft, torque arm, and torque arm relocation kit all at once. I have a 2nd gen Camaro that is for sale and should that sell, Bob at EPP will be receiving an order right away for these items!

I will have to give some thought to selling the WS6 wheels. Thank you.

Ls1tech is awesome, I spend way too much time on here already!!
