Default 2001 T/a Ws6

Hey guys picked up my m6 firebird in tallahassee on 4/20. I'm coming from a big turboed, full bolt-on srt neon. Man i love the look, sound, and power of this car.

The car has hooker headers, off road y-pipe, magnaflow slp exhaust, lid, k&n, descreened ported maf, and some other small stuff including suspension pieces. The previous owner claims it was dyno tuned with 342 rwhp.

Well i look forward to being involved in the LS1 community and modding this car. I will probably fully build the suspension and rear end, then decide where i want to go with my final power goals before i mod anything.

I know there's aot of stickies and all for newbies like myself. If anyone could give me a good idea of where to start after full intake and exhaust, it would be cool. I can't decide if i want to end up with nitrous, or heads and cam. I want reliability as i will be keeping this until i pay it off. got 96,000 on the clock.

Thanks in advance guys.

Is it an auto or manual. If it is an auto put a larger torque converter in it first. If it is manual think about a cam. Good luck
