GOOD CHOICE!!! I've seen that sitting out there, and always thought about another one for a D.D., but I really need the truck

Ya its a really nice car, I guess the NHRA's are a little rare too? Prolly gonna pull the badges anyways.

I'd just like to thank all those dealer peeps who posted all the info in the previous thread, and a special thanks to Kristen!!!!!! :thumbsup All that info you gave us on the car really helped me make the decision to buy it, thank you!!!!

Now I'm gonna order SLP Loud Mouth 2, Whisper lid, & Skip Shift Eliminator. Already got a Pro 5-0 for my other T56. :)

I'd yank the badges off too...not saying throw them away, you can always put them back on if you choose. Looks cleaner without, IMO.

Nice purchase!! :thumbsup

GTSLOW
02-13-2006, 10:16 PM
Thanks guys!!! Tom tell me about this tuning program, would I benefit tuning with just intake and exhaust? Also can tuning remove the skip shift eliminator?

PS I think NHRA is:

Badges
Power Steering Cooler
Hurst Shifter
Possibly 3.73's??

I really have no idea everywhere I look on the net it has different info. But most say power steering cooler and badges. The hurst might be an added option, either way its getting ditched for the pro 5-0 sitting in the basement :D

Oh and I'll be home not next week wensday but the following wensday, the 1st :D :D

GTSLOW
02-14-2006, 12:53 AM
Ahh i was thinking performance :goof

So what ya ls1 guys think.

SLP Loudmouth 1 or 2 ( I love the way it sounds so dont try to sell me on GMMG)
Coolant bypass kit
Whisper lid (wheres the best place to buy one? The stock airbox looks like sh*t)
160* thermostat
And hopefully toms tuning (efans on at a lower temp + byebye skipshift)

Can't spend to much as I gotta drive to caly still. Insurance is only 114 a month for full coverage. ;) Yes I'm 21, its my lil secret.

Hey lemme know if anyone knows anyone localy or midwest wise that has some 17's or 18's forsale. Looking for a 9.5 or 11" wheel. Prolly chrome or polished. Can be ZR1's, Z06, C5's, and mabye others.

I've looked into black with polished lip but theres to much of it now. Gonna stay old school and go chrome on black :D Sorry chris skinnies arent my style.

BAD LS1

Well the tuning can do just about anything. Its quite impressive what bumping the timing and leaning it out it bit can do!, they are so conservative on timing, (18*) and so rich, (11.5:1) that it makes a huge diff in driveability after making some adj.

I can get rid of the skipshift, turn the fans on sooner, adj speedo for gears, get rid of torque managment, cat over temp protection (once the cats are gone).

A B4C's car was like night and day after.

GTSLOW
02-14-2006, 07:13 AM
Sweet, well I dont think my M6 has torque management. What about the gay ass traction control. Can you disable it for good or what?

Also what should I get LM or LM II??

Just get an ABS delete block. That will take care of your traction control. I can't stand ABS. Saves some weight too looks alot cleaner.
