I'm ripping out the LS6 immediately in favor of an LT1. Anyone want to buy this shitty LS engine and ignition system?

OPTISPARK FTMFW





Buying from a friend, picking her up in a week :thumbs:

It is stock internally with some bolt ons:
Vararam
ARH Long Tubes
ORX Pipe
Stock Ti Catback
CCW "Race" Classics, custom offset, 335 rear rubber
3 sets of sway bars (not sure all which ones he has for it)
Pfadt Sport Shocks
Pfadt Camber Kit
Pfadt Bushings
BB&P leaf spring up front
BB&P HD Tie Rod Ends
MTI Six Shooter Shifter
Corbeau A4 Seats w 6 point harnesses
Harness Bar
JL Audio Stealth Sub Box, JL Components, JL Amp, Alpine H/U
Centerforce Clutch
Fidanza Lightened Aluminum Flywheel
Upgraded rotors (not sure on brand)
Carbotech XPS Pads
49,000 miles

Probably a few things I'm forgetting. Going to Auto X it and get into Time Trials. Plus some weekend cruising every now and then :thumbs:

I'm going to max it out in SSP without touching the engine internally. That basically means full bolt ons.
