Default Ls1 Newbi

hey guys...

i am pretty new to the world of Ls1's. i have been a Mustang owner for about 6 years and got tired of them, so i switched. I have a 2002 T/A with an air box mod and have been loving every min of it. I am rather new to the Trans Am world and was wondering what qm times i might see with an M6 with a lid and a air box mod.. just trying to get an idea before all of my mustang buddies make fun of me for switching.


any tips or tricks on Hp mods would be most helpful

thanks

Justin

thanks guys!

I ran with westside mustangs a lot.... i think a lot of them disowned me when i pulled up in my ride. i wanted to see what all the hype was about with the Ls1. Come to find out it wasent hype they really are that fast! I think i am going to do a 12bolt strange with 411s, long tube headers, with a magna flow exhaust for starters, i might do Nitrous but prob not until i replace the rearend. I know a guy with a gt that is heavly modified that runs 12:03s (mod motor) keeps talking trash about my car... i keep telling him thats all fine and good because mine is still stock. If is did heads cams and just half of the stuff he did who knows what would happen. anyway thanks for taking me in guys it means a lot.

Justin

ps whats the qm time for a T/a m6 with an air box mod and a lid? just wondering... i am thinking about going to the track Friday
