Default I'm back!!!!

Hey guys!!! Long time no see!!!

I used to be on here back in the day - known as LT1Factor - I had a white '94 Z28, C6 wheels, Ellis did a ton of work on it.

Well now I'm back. I picked up an '02 SS M6 w/ 30k miles a little bit ago.

Anyways, just wanted to say what's up! I'm looking forward to getting back into this scene!

You don't pass the noob/rookie status until you get the basic bolt ons put on your car.

Oh there'll be bolt ons! I'm looking at lids right now and I'll go from there. I threw a lou's short stick on right when I got it. It's def a little different compared to modding the LT1 I had before. The car came with a magnaflow exhaust; I haven't had a chance to climb under the car and see if it's just the muffler or a cat-back.

I'm heading to Vegas next week but after that I'm planning on starting the process. Any recommendations on good bolt-ons?

Yeah, the LS motors respond a lot better to mods verse the LT1's.

Bolt on wise, port & polish the TB along with the bump stop delete to the TB, UD pulleys, TSP makes a nice set of stainless 1-7/8 LT's & ORY. Those mods alone will add some good power on. I'd say look into a FAST Intake, but your current LS6 intake is more than fine. I'd change that out if and when you did H/C or cam only.

I hadn't heard of the bump stop delete so that's good to know! I just looked up those headers, not bad at all price wise and I have the car registered at my folks place in Chelan so I don't care about emissions/cat. lol

I've been looking at the FAST intake so good to know I'm looking in the right direction.

+1 for the FAST 92/92. I picked up good power all over the RPM range with it. Plus they look really cool Now I just need to ditch my factory 241 heads to something better. Money money money.......

Nice man. I love the factory wheels those came with. A local guy had a set of those powder coated at a local shop to a gunmetal finish and they looked sweet.
