Yup, converted my base model 96 arctic white camaro to an ls1 z28 w/ ss hood. Then the LS got pulled 18 months ago TOO MUCH PISTON SLAP!! and i
dropped in a 02' 5.3 w the better .500 lift cam. Speed engineering stainless long tubes...no tune yet. Thing pulls strong, went to the track last weekend went 13.34 @ 104.78. So i am hoping there is a 12 in it with a tune. Gotta get some pics up soon.

Buy my motor Phil and have Mike put it in your LT. It's just getting broke in with 32k on it. Then I can buy a crate LS3 engine and throw some FI on it.

Nice scores on the cars. I've secretly wanted a nice IROC with an LS swap, lowered down on 18's with a 4th gen style SS hood. Call em a mullet machine if you want but I still dig those body's when done up right.

I'm not on here very much because I sold My Z28 and bought a GTO last fall. I would like to get it out to PIR, cars and coffee, and go on some cruises this year though.

It's an a4. The cost to change to a T56 is way out of my budget.

I take Friday off of work and don't look in on the NW section over the weekend and look what happens! If we plan a meetup I'm in (assuming job/friends/family don't get in the way like usual). Its always fun going out on cruises with you guys, even if I am always in the slowest car there.

It's a mostly stock midnight blue '05 with coilovers, poly bushing throughout and borla catback. I plan on at least full bolt on's by next year. I really like the car thus far. Took it out to do some auto x and look forward to cruises and drags this year.

Man, that sounded just like Nicks car, same color, coilovers and same time frame that he sold his car. Weird.

Anyway, your car sounds nice man.
