My current winter mod is trading the CTS-V in on another TB SS or truck of some kind. This kid we just had requires a lot more room than the V can handle...So after the wife crushes me for buying another TB SS then get to work on the Z/SS...

Um, what's there to improve when you have a consistent low 9sec 6spd terror!!!!
On my part, I have gotten the stuff for my Ls1 ait lid conversion & a street rod exhaust kit to refab my duals so that the state of Va. is happy. I just put on my UMI PHB relocater & PHB yesterday. It's cold here tho, I HATE WINTER!!
I could bring my project to a close if Taner would just send his car, keys & sihned title in my direction

nothing too crazy
I had planned a 24x conversion, but put that on hold for now.
-new EWP since mine starting leaking from the flange where the actual motor seats
-LS1 lid swap with a FTP 98MM lid
-Chrs1313 Ram Air kit
-UMI CM chassis mount TA : Black
-Kirkeys ( sold Corbeau Forza's )
-new carpet
-graphite interior panels
-going with a dual bottle mount in the trunk
-Nitrous Outlet progressive controller
-ATI alum dampner ( 4#'s lighter then ASP )
-Yank SS3600 non lockup( SS4000 was too loose and no lockup saves about 4#'s)
-FLT Level 7 ( Level 4 was taking a beating at my level )
-Hoosier Drags radials ( 10#'s lighter each and seem to work as well or better then M/T )
-changing up the rims ( not sure what yet )
-some other weight reduction stuff
-VFN bolt-on Sunoco hood
think that's it

Considered selling for a 99-02 WS6 LS1... but I'm just going to finish up LT's, ory, EWP, etc. bolt-on's, a bit of suspension, some good tires this spring, and then starting my slow 355 street SR build. Depending on how far I get, will be looking to Speed Inc as my dyno tuning solution
Maybe some help with 355 rebuild components

It was like Christmas today!! Rims and Nano showed up springs came yesterday and I picked up a set of rear calipers locally!! All Im waiting for is the N20 outlet stuff.
You and me both. My mecleod bellhousing came in yesterday, all Im waiting for is the N20 Oulet stuff aswell. They told me a month or so and that was just after christmas so hopefully we see our stuff soon.
I live in Florida so usually I don't have a down season like you all. Me? I am building a 383 LT1 with LE2 heads and cam. going to change everything in the cooling system as well as do so more bolt on mods for the new engine. Kind of got a late start on it due to the cold snap we had but now it is on it's way. I'll snap some pics this weekend.
my plan for the shootout was to build a new shortblock however building 2 cars at the same time is financially tuff at this point....
i have my ported heads to pick up,order a small cam,finish my 8.8 build,get my hood and N2o plate kit from N20 outlet

Just installing all of the parts I already have, new engine, rebuilt t56, S60, tubular K and upper/lower a-arms, Strano springs/Bilsteins, 13" front brakes, EFI 24x setup, wire mod, fuel line mod yada yada yada.
name thought i had a lot of stuff to do, lol Some have me beat
well as of right now i got the walbro 255 fuel pump swap done. So heres my list
True duals, 4.10s, auburn/eaton posi, and some engine bay dress up....those consist of polished valve covers, FRC's, battery relocated, polished overflow, deleting washer fluild tank and moving stuff around to clean up bay.
So hope my parents dont find out, lol. Thats a pretty penny. I have the valve covers and the exhaust already purchased, just need the most expensive stuff still to be bought, lol
