				Hi, I'm a new member here. I saw a link on LS1Tech and decided to join. My car is mainly used as a nice weather only driver, but this summer I plan to try out a local auto-x track and hopefully make a trip to the drag strip as well. I have a 2001 Firehawk formula hardtop, 6-speed with a few bolt on mods and the factory Bilstein level II suspension package. For performance mods it has Edelbrock stepped headers 1-3/4" to 1-7/8" with 3.5" collectors, 3" edelbrock ORY, hooker aerochamber cat back, SSRA, blackwing lid, and with a tune it made 351 RWHP and 365 ft-lbs. In addition to the SLP suspension upgrades it has SLP 3pt SFC's, Spohn DSL, LPW rear differential cover, and I am currently installing a Midwest Chassis full length torque arm with the relocation transmission crossmember. Future plans are new tires in the spring (thinking 275/40/17 NT05's at all corners), possibly adding rod/rod or poly/rod LCA's (stock ones are supposed to have the 1LE bushings so I might just keep them unless I start getting wheel hop), and trying to decide if a watts link will show a noticeable difference over a rod/rod panhard for my uses. Long term plans are AI ported heads and cam, possibly a supercharger way down the road, and of course upgrading any parts that wear out. Anyways I hope to learn here, and feel free to leave any comments current setup and future plans. (IMG:http://i39.tinypic.com/30xj676.jpg) |
