lol...I know how that goes. It's not all that fun taking the car out during the day either, there is no one else out.
Just noticed we both have A4 WS6's w/ Magnaflow catback.
What else are you going to have done to it?

The kit is an older one, meaning its Ported and Polished LS6 heads, and a 236/226 Cam. But I got lucky and the guy I got it from also got the LS6 ported Oil pump and Double roller timing chain. I paid less than a set of AFR heads would have run me too. ALL BRAND NEW. Now I am Saving for the LS6 intake/LTs/Ory/Stall... Going to go into the garage a mild kitten, coming out a horse eating LION! You just buy yours?

Yeah I had a 95 TA Heads,cam, bolt-on m6 before this. I always wanted the last body styled ws6 so it was a good switch for me. Tough though wanting to make more power....takes alot of money

Your telling me. I bought this car in Feb. Before that I have had every other F Body made. I sold a 78 LT camaro just to buy the parts for this one... My only gripe about new performance. I had all of 4 Grand into my Camaro and it FLEW! But so far, between purchase price, and all the parts I will be pushing the upper 18000 number when done.

Dont get me wrong, I dont think I could ever go back to Gen 1 sbc, but I do miss the aftermarket, where everything was cheap and readily available.

Dont even get me started on how easy they were to work on too....

Oh yeah, and I am having a blast with it. I mean, my Stroker camaro would just barely walk this light to light, but when I hit the freeway, its a whole diff ballgame.

I dunno, I guess I am just old school cause I miss that car...: .... Well, until the TA is finished I will miss it.

The 78 had LTs, 4" collectors and Flowmaster Single Chambers to dumps. SUMBITCH that car shook the earth.

How do you like your Magnaflow? Thought it was a bit too mild, but it seems to be breaking in a little and get a little more aggresive. Should be ALOT better with some good LTs and no cats tho, I would think.

The LM sounds a little raspy for my liking but it should still scare little kids and old people!
