That would be me, and thanks. When I saw your car I thought I might hear something on here. I was out just joy riding since it wasn't raining. That ss looks pretty good too.

Oh, if you're curious this is my build list:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...-my-build.html

It has about 300 hundred miles on it so far, and I've got a torque arm coming in tomorrow. Next thing I need is drag radials and I'll be ready to take it out to the track.

thanks man, even though its dirty as hell. poor thing is a daily driver... and yeah, i actually was curious what was done.. didnt know if you were gonna keep it a secret or not.. very nice car though. do you ever remember seeing a maroonish 04 GT with heads and cams? kinda loudish exhaust.. lookeda lot like another one that was in BC for a while, but the one in BC was louder with black wheels.

Yeah I've seen a couple maroon gt's running around town. But nah no secrets here, you can hear it as soon as i pull up. But when I pop the hood it does look almost stock. Yeah I'm happy with what TSS did, I know Daniel from way back. He had a little trouble with my converter lock up but I got on here and found the answer and he fixed it for me. He's only done a hand full of LS cars, but he knows a lot about tuning, and if he has any problems he doesn't hesitate to ask. He normally consults the guy who used to own Thunder Racing.

sweet... one of those mustangs was a friend of mine's.. it went to TSS a few times. they re-did the heads/cam after we got the timing off 1/2 a chain link, lmao. but, thats what we get for avoiding taking the front cover off..
Reason i asked is he just sold it about 2 weeks ago, you may see it at the BC market basket from time to time.. Sold it to another friend that works there. Then we ordered a 2010 Camaro SS. Took me 4 1/2 years to convert him.... His grandpa owned the Ford dealership when it was Wickersham..

Yeah I've been thinking about heading out that way. I didn't hear about that til after I bought my Firehawk which was after Hurricane Ike. So if your friend is related to Wickersham I'm surprised you could convert him at all, lol.

.. It literally took 4 1/2 years of facts, numbers , opinions.... And then finally last year I got my car and showed him first hand. He had heads, cams, off road x and slp lm2, 3.73s, and a k&n... And still I could beat him every time. He still loves his mustang... It's sentental but, he sold it for a 2010 Camaro and won't be buying it back until he's got the ss...

Dude, I'm damn sure i've seen that car before. How long have you had it? Or are you the guy that used to drive around with that mustang sometimes in orange.. I remember there was the GT with the cobra r hood, and I think your car along with a couple others.. But i heard the guy that had it sold it... Triple guage pillar with blue gauges and bottle in the back seat? Haven't seen that car in a while.. Last time I saw it was in the parking lot of (I think Advance) with that mustang and that orange 350z with black wheels... Another car i haven't seen in forever.

With this weather lately it's hard to hang out anywhere outside. My little one is already stir crazy and wants to get out of the house, and he wanted to go see some cars. Course it's 80% chance of rain tonight, so I guess we won't be headed out. Hopefully 11th street cruise wont be rained out.
