Newb LS4 owner What's up guys? I just picked up a 07 Impala SS and am really enjoying it so far. I've already did a tune up and modded the stock airbox. I was jus wondering if you guys could fill me in on the must do mods and the big no no's with these cars. There's a lot of good info on gmls4.com but that search function doesn't like me too well lol. Car has 88k miles on it. Thanks.

A custom tune from diablewtune.com is one of the better mods for the money.
As far as things to not do, don't flush the transmission. I'm not sure why, but everybody says that. I'm sure someone can chime in to say. I think it locks it up but I don't know what would cause that.
You need to work on that quarter mile time though, damn. Stock it should be running at least a half second faster than that.

I have 108,xxx on the stock tranny here. Bought it with 75,000 on the clock. Was previously owned by an old couple who traded it in. Since I've had it replaced the water pump, starter, front wheel bearings, transmission cable, tires and a fuel injector. The next maintenance will be on the cv axles and the front and rear struts. Ugh, dreading the day the tranny goes bad in this thing.
