He's installing the Magnaflow this weekend. I'm assuming the K&N is installed.

I think people are gonna still call it a 327 no matter what haha. Just like the LS1 was only like 346 and everyone called it a 350. That's probably the case with alot of engines. Everytime someone asks me what I have under the hood and I say a 5.3 they're always like "oh a 327.' Then they usually follow it up with a "wow, it's weird seeing an LSx in there sideways.

It looks like you've got a very nice car. The magnaflows should sound great. I really like the 327 badge. Great idea! And BTW, thanks for helping to defend our country.

Hey Imp SS...

Are you by chance going to the NASCAR time trials at Joliet today? If you are, tell me about it. I read where it's only $15.00 and includes a concert.

Nah, I won't get home too late for that. Yeah, Gretchen Wilson and some other opening acts are going to be putting on a show. I'm sure I'll be able to hear it though.... I can hear the cars growl all day long when they're out there. The track is not that far from my house.

Thanks! We ordered some custom floor mats from a non-sponsor which i'll host when they arrive, plan to tint the windows, do the Roller Rockers, Tune, LS6 springs and maybe a set of ported LS6 heads. Id really like to find some Torque Thrust 2's in 20" in a gunmetal color with a polished lip that fit as well.

F.I.I.K...., i just moved here, but it does sound familiar. Puyallup is just southeast of Tacoma by about 20 minutes drive. I've been to St. Louis more than a few times. Had a blast there over St. Patty's
