The LS1 in this car has been upgraded with an MS4 cam, titanium valve springs, ported TB, LS6 intake, bigger injectors, mid length hedman headers, custom cold air intake, and the computer tuned by Texas Speed and Performance. The motor has about 110k miles on it, with about 10k of those miles after all the upgrades. The motor is putting down nearly 500hp, yet is reliable as hell, I drive this car to work nearly everyday approximately 50 miles a day. Its loud when you open it up to get on the freeway, but idles perfect and cruises around town like a new car.
Over the past year I have meticulously went through every major system on the car and upgraded them. This car turns, brakes, and drives like a new reliable safe car.
Here is the list:
- All new front and rear suspension with polyurethane bushings, boxed rear upper/lower control arms with Hotchkis lowering springs and KYB shocks. New upper/lower front a-arms with disc brake spindles.
- Front disc brake conversion and brand new rear drum brakes with power brake booster
- Fully built TH400 (good for 900hp) with billet input shaft and full reverse manual valve body
- FTI 3800 stall converter (built for the LS1 to TH400 combo) Hits hard, but great on the street
- New 10 bolt rear end with 3.73 yukon gears with yukon axles and a new Eaton Posi unit.
- Nitto NT555R drag radials (the biggest that would fit) and Rallye wheels all 4 corners
- 15 gallon dumped fuel cell with all braided stainless fuel line running to a Bosch 044 fuel pump (good for over 650 hp)
- New stereo just installed looks like factory unit but has iPod hookup
- Brand new Radiator with 2001 camaro electric fans
- B&M Trans cooler supplied by braided stainless lines from transmission
- Brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box (much tighter quicker ratio than the old stocker) and all new steering linkage/bushings/etc.
- I also have a Nitrous Wet Kit (plate kit) complete that has never been installed but will be part of the deal if you want it.
Interior is in GREAT shape, looks awesome.
Overall the mechanicals on this car are 9.5/10. The paint is more of a 7/10. Has a few scratches/scuffs, if I keep the car I would eventually get it repainted. But I want to move on to another toy. I have a bunch of videos on youtube (here is my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/chiropaul)
I am asking $16,500 for the car, I am asking even more on craigslist but I figured I'd give a really good price on the car for the LS1 Tech folks.
