Default New guy with a better second post than first lol

Hey everyone I'm new to ls1tech. I drive a black 95 Trans Am with the lt1 obviously. Got on here for help and it's an awesome forum. My current mods are hypertech k&n intake, 3" exhaust soon to be dumped at the axle and a stall. Looking to rebuild my tranny and engine so and help or advice is much appreciated

knowing what you want to do with car before you start your build will save hundreds of dollars and hours of labor... I spent thousands on my lt1 and knew in the back of my mind I wanted to go turbo, so what happens... after I spent all that money I turned around and sold it cause it didn't fit my goals or needs anymore... If I were you... I would invest in a nice rear end before you start going crazy on the motor... my 2 cents worth

What kind of tranny do you have, m6 or auto? What do you mean by rebuild?
