Default New LS1 T/A owner

Just my post to say hello to everyone. My name is Shawn and my toy of choice is a Bright Red 1999 Trans Am. I have been a member of many LS1 and F-Body sites since I first purchased the car back in June of 03. Currently the Tuning section moderator on the site I frequent the most. Here's just one of the sweet pics of the car taken recently.


Mod list includes:

Harland Sharp 1.7 Roller Rockers
Thunder Racing Pushrods
Jet-Hot Long Tube Headers
ASP Underdrive Balancer/Altenator Pulley's
Taylor 10.4 Ignition Cables
Hypertech 160deg Thermostat
!EGR, !A.I.R.


DRIVELINE

Tuned with EFILive custom Speed Density Tune and Innovate LC1 Wideband. The only way to tune.

Looking for mid 11's before installing the nitrous, just have to pick up a driveshaft.

6 speed and 17in M/T's owned me on the launch. I had the rear shocks set at 1 for the ride to the track and didn't adjust them up and tire pressure at 20psi. All she wanted to do was spin terribly off the line. She did go 116mph on that run which should be good for 11.6-7.

Have yet to run with the Bogarts and Hoosiers.

I've switched over from 1999 operation system to a custom OS5 in the PCM which has helped performance alot so I hope to crack 120mph and a sub 1.5 60ft.
