What should I do?

[GTSLOW]

Got some $$ to play with.

I know for a fact I'm getting some 17/9.5/11's

But now the other choice:


Pulley, Long tubes, ORY, and Tune?

OR

Drop Springs, LCA Relocation Brackets, and SA Koni's?

[Heat Seeker WS6]

Suspension first & you'll want/need the Adj PHR with the drop & wider tires in back

[Crawlin]

I got some ported heads for sale :)

haha, just got them back from AMS for testing. Didn't do what *I* need them to do

[UnderPSI]

Got some $$ to play with.

I know for a fact I'm getting Long tubes, ORY, and Tune?

:thumbsup

[PHDcamaro]

+1 for suspension

[GTSLOW]

:thumbsup

:rolf nice

Well I guess I could always do both :goof

Depending on the sale of my old wheel/tires. Still undecided. :(

[0TransAm0]

i wouldn't bother with the pully.. but do the rest.

[GTSLOW]

I could always get wheels and a WS6 hood instead of parts? :D

[GTSLOW]

What about this?

http://www.lmspeed.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2

Seriously

I've sold alot of drugs in the past month so I have some buck to spend. :goof

[Yooformula]

meh, fark the hood. go with the lts, tune, suspension and wheels.

[946speedz]

+1 on what Yoo said

[GTSLOW]

:rolf I want to but the wifey would woop my arse.

[BadAzzGTA89]

Do this http://www.brewcitymuscle.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=4364&d=1169312201

[UnderPSI]

NO! on the fagnacharger. Get a real kit like a Procharger or a Vortec. Something that doesnt turn into a huge heatsink and put you back at the power you made stock.

The heatsink looks soo cool:goof

[UnderPSI]

So does a giagantic front mount hiding behind where your license plate used to be. :D

Heetseaker is right, suspension first. No reason to buy all kinds of go-fast goodies if you can't get it to the ground!!

[Gatman]

go for more power! Power before looks IMO.

[GTSLOW]

Bought to drop the dime...

[GTSLOW]

Dewd they look bad ass!!! What do you recomend??

Everyone has:
C5's (Y2K)
Z06's
TT2's
ZR1's
Even C6's are everywhere now.

What I really want are some Firehawk wheels, but good luck on finding those. :(

I would like some CCW's but god damn$$.

I love those!! But they only come in 18x8 :(

[A B4C Z]

I went with suspension first. If you put big tires.wheels on with no suspension the car feels like a big weight wipping around. And if you put rims on it and dont lower it at all it will look 4x4. Id say suspension first. Thats what i did with mine and i was happy.
Of course make sure you get all the adjustable stuff or you will kick yourself in the ass down the road.

By the way on the rims www.ls1tech.com -wheels/tires seciton is your friend. HRE Fikse CCW IForged there all killer looking rims.

Dont be like everyone else with z06 rims and zr1s

Hey! i resemble that remark!:rolf

ZR1's arent near as played out as the Z06's or TTII's for that matter:wow

[Beagle]

i'm also for suspension. forget the pulley you wont notice any gain from it. the only thing you will see is low voltage on your gauge and your lights very dim, its not worth it.

[Yooformula]

Tom, on a Camaro your are right, they dont look as played out but on a Bird they look done..

Those are all bad ass wheels, but there's no way I'm gonna spend 2,600+ on rims + shipping then another grand on tires. Then I'd have no money left for mods :(

I'm trying to staying the under 2grand window. :)

Fawk I love the CCW SP500s and Classics!

Thanks man :thumbsup

I'm really lovin the 18x9.5 & 18x10.5 setup w/ the Z06's!!!

[UnderPSI]

For that money I have a nice set of HRE's you could have had. Nice 3 piece wheel looks almost like the same rim you picked out. Black Center polished lip. Did you order yours yet??

[GTSLOW]

No I didn't, really gonna think this one thru. Prolly mid next week. I really really really really really really like the 18x9.5/18x10.5 Z06's.

[USMARINE1108]

Well if your changing your wheels is to make the car look different. Hense why it again will look like quite a few others if you go with z06s.

PS. I just went with Fikse FM5s 17X9.5 and 17x11 out back:) so dont get those i dont reccomend them:goof

Pics??

Honestly I havent seen very many T/A's or Formulas at that with Chrome Z06's. Lots of Y2K C5's, ZR1's, and TT2's but not Z06's. One thing I will say is black z06's w/ polished lips are fawking everywhere.

[A B4C Z]

Still wating for them to get built. They get sent out on the 30 from Fikse. Ill post when i recive them.

I love them!! Do they come in 17's???

[0TransAm0]

i got the 17/9.5's and 17/11's with the TT2's but i have yet to see another TA in the area with them. yeah lots of peeps have them but not around here. just get what you like and don't worry bout what other people think. after all it is YOUR car and YOUR the one driveing it everyday. if you like some cheep ass steelies then so be it.. :)

Ya thats true, there's alot of them here in caly :( btw you car looks sick w/ them :thumbsup

Anywho I think another problem is people see them on alot of cars on the interweb, then think that they are used everywhere.

[Yooformula]

there are at least 4 in the area alone so thats not always the case. its YOUR car, you do what you chose, but then dont ask for opinions then beat them down. Chevy wheels on Pontiacs are played out. "every car has headlights", thats a gay statement but if you are spending a good chunk of change to PERSONALIZE your ride, why go with others have used already? damm sheep..:banana1:

[Karps TA]

The problem is there just isn't a very vast selection of good looking wheels for the cars, and an even smaller amount that don't cost 6 months salary to buy. I'm having a ***** of a time myself finding a new set of wheels this year that is different, yet not wallet busting.

[94greenbandit]

I vote for suspension all the way. You can make the car pretty but if you can't keep it planted it ain't worth nothing

[Heat Seeker WS6]

Im thinking that if this thread is still alive in mid Feb and you still haven't boughten anything by then, you should just give the $$ to me! :banana

LOL you :asshole yoo. J/P point well taken. Well I'm gonna look more into those last set of wheels you posted. If they just came wider than 8" :( :( :(

I have a set of 17x8 Hyper Black ZR1's w/ 245/45/17 F & 255/45/17 R tires. They are like new for 3rd gen Fbodies :D They have a nice lip too!

http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/album32/front_yard2.jpg

[Yooformula]

get some photochop work done on a ton of wheels to see what you like.

too common :rolf

Plus I'm trying to find something with a lip.

[GTSLOW]

Those have lip! Plus these are different then reg ZR1's!! Hey I'll give ya a deal :D

[Poncho]

chevy rims on a pontiac = puke.

vette wheels, would be the last ones to rock.

mod wise i'd recommend= lower that 4x4, long tubes, retune, shifter done yet?, then wheels.

[GTSLOW]

Ya its got a Pro 5-0 w/ LSS.

Retune? Tom you wanna fly out to caly and hook it up. :D

[946speedz]

sell me the pro 5.0 :) and put it towards new wheels :)

[GTSLOW]

IMO You'd be happier with a factory Hurst + Lous Short Stick.

Swing by South Carolina on your way back?

[A B4C Z]

b&m ripper for the win. pro 5.0 sucks ass and the hurst sucks to.

[GTSLOW]

Hmm I'll start looking into it. Been thinking of getting rid of the Pro 5-0 for a while now.

[Poncho]

b&m ripper for the win. pro 5.0 sucks ass and the hurst sucks to.

weird how the b&m ripper in the f-bodies is awesome, yet complete junk for the gt-ho's.

[BAD LS1]

Ive gotta pro 5.0... and it works decent with the bias twoards 3rd.

Tickets to caly im sure are cheap and i got vacation time lol.

Well thats quite the expensive list there... going on 3 grand! Do you really need a 800$ cat back though? Yeah it looks pretty... but is it really better than say magnaflow?

not sure if its any better than magnaflow but i love the way my magnaflow sounds. i get nothing but compliments on it. also have (LT's and ORY)

[Poncho]

so you wanna change three mods that are already done to something slightly different??

lol, that is all i'm saying, l-o-l

[GTSLOW]

Well I'm slowly starting to pull away from my Loud Mouth. Plus if I go with a ORY the LM sounds like crapola. The Pro 5-0 is just a thought, alot of peeps have gone from the 5-0 to the B&M and loved the change. Everytime I look at the carbon lid I like it less and less.

[GTSLOW]

Well thats quite the expensive list there... going on 3 grand! Do you really need a 800$ cat back though? Yeah it looks pretty... but is it really better than say magnaflow?

Ah but the Corsa is probably the best sounding cat back for the ls1 fbody. Now I'm not bashing any of the others or saying they don't sound as good. But the Corsa just sounds so niiiice.
