Default HELLO! New to LS1Tech

Hey, my name is Jim. I recently bought an 08' Black/Ebony Impala SS. I've only had the car since December but I've already put 4500 miles on her and loved every minute of it. I have the K&N setup on it currently... I have the W-Body store 3" DP on order and soon plan to order the Cat-back kit from Hogan Performance. I see there are already those of you out there already experimenting with these cars. Has anyone tried nitrous yet? I am coming to this car after having many Taurus SHO's to various mod levels and a decently modded 98' GTP. I just love my sedans! Anyways here's a short clip of my car on one of our few clear winter evenings.

Hey, I see my name. I have the first turbo kit for the LS4 from Cartuning.ca and wait until we head back to the dyno in a week or two :o

Cartuning took the kit off so they can make their install manual (good news for everyone, means it's just about ready to ship, if you want the kit installed he should be able to hook you up right now) but anyways, they found some things that would make me lose significant power so at the same 12psi we'll be over 500whp for sure.

Awsome numbers... I can't wait until the kit is on the market. I live in an area with vast amounts of Civics with wings and all sorts of other 4 cylinder crap that thinks a hot air intake and fart pipe equal 3 seconds in the 1/4. Not to hate on some of the little buggers because when done right they can be fast but it's a saying amongst all my friends because the rice always thinks v8's are dumb.
