I have a 1998 WS6 that a still havent done anything to.I'm starting to think I should just leave it stock.I'm planning on keeping it in my family and was just think it might be better to leave it the way GM made it.What do you guys think?

 

The early WS6 rims would be one of main reasons I'd buy a WS6 in the future. Polish up the stock rims and keep the car fresh looking. Please keep all LS1 cars respected... clean.

If you mod it do it in the name of "restoring as you go." If you get a mild cam go ahead and do the oil pump. Not only will you have new valve springs, but new oil seals and so on.

Headers make the car better and an electric waterpump seems like a smart upgrade when the old one fails.

When you do the clutch, instead of using the resufaced stock flywheel, get a new aluminum one. It'll spin up much faster and improve acceleration.

That's the frame of mind I'm under with my Firehawk.

 

if your worried about leaving it original, then just dont do anything that is irriversible and keep all of the original parts.

 

I'm in the same boat. I have an 02 WS6 with 7,0XX miles on it. It is just so beautiful the way it is...and I wanna keep it forever.

 

Modding sure is fun though

As long as you do reversible stuff, you could always restore it back to stock as was said above.

 

Mod it.

 

I say mod it

 

Do you not realize that you're here to live once? Do what you want man. Modding an LS1 is one of the most fun things to do. Don't worry about keeping your car stock. Are you planning on selling it in an auction for $100,000 50 years from now? NO. There are plenty of Trans Am's out there that are more special than yours. If you're worried about spending too much money then you should sell your car and get a beater.
