Default previous owner help!

Trying to figure out what's all done and wrong with my car. It's a red 2000 ws6 6m ttop. I just bought it yesterday in el Paso. Found a parts tag under passenger seat. Dated 06/05/2013. Gonna call the destination and origin on tag. Came from LKQ out of Hutchins. Was shipped to team USA in fort worth. Has random technology electronic exhaust cut out and some other options. Clean 104k car. Says it was ordered by a guy name billy

A few years ago I bought my T/A in Florida and as you know FL is a lot like TX in getting away with murder at inspections. It took me a while to go through the car and really figure out what previous owner did, and more importantly what he didn't do. I sorta know what your going thru, I'm slowly turning the car into my own by upgrading and changing things out - the way I want them.

My car was running rough when I brought her home, it's cammed but just didn't want to keep running! I changed out all the basic stuff, wires, plugs, fuel filter, sensors, etc.....and it totally changed it's attitude. I also know the tune could be adjusted to raise the idle. I'll fix tune next dyno tune after heads or intake swap. I know my car saw significant track time before I bought it, which explains the previous owners build and tune. Good luck, by your other posts looks like ya know what your doing.
