As far as quaility issues are concerned, I've had two 4th gen cars, a 96 SS Camaro and now a 02 WS6. The only issues I had with the Camaro was the intake oil leak common on the LT1 motors and a couple EGRs. The opti-spark never crapped out and I never even had to replace the clutch. Got 90,000...

Congratulations. You win a cookie. :rolleyes: All joking aside, I'm as diehard a turbo 6 guy as any here. It is an incredible motor and I'm not knocking it. But the question was concerning a stock TTA vs. LS1. Not what a TTA is capable of after a few mods. With stock tires both cars have enough...

I've got the KB kit and it's not bad. I usually run it without the filter enclosed in the cannister for a little more airflow.

Thanks. :)

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah, I was looking at the Jax website but I don't think they can sell the factory style headrests anymore. Any other vendors have these?

I have no doubt the TTA will shine 14 years from now but the "dimple in the GM lineup" will still be quicker stock even if you are reckless enough to break that many drivetrain components.

A little more information than we needed :D :D

I've gone a 13.2@107mph with a fully optioned stock 02 WS6 and I'm no Evan Smith with a 6sp. That was on a 2.19 60 ft. so I wasn't exactly hooking up like glue either. I think the average run for an LS1 Fbody is probably more in the mid 13 range. LS1s are definitely quick cars and IMO probably...

Anybody know where to find replacement headrest covers for the GN? I heard there was some legal issues about vendors using the turbo 6 emblem. When did this crap start and are there any vendors that are licensed to do this now?

I'm using Valvolene 10w-30 synthetic with the pf52 filter. My car is mainly a weekend cruiser street/strip ride. As far as climate, it can get pretty hot down here in dixie :D

Don't quite know that far ahead but I may try to be there too.

You can do a good tune up and basic free stuff to your GN and be smacking C4 Corvettes around all day. A 90 Corvette with the L98 shouldn't be much trouble for a stock GN anyway. Might just want to invest in some tires that hook up better. Sounds like you have the hp already to get the job done.

Geez, this is like another nail in the coffin for late model F body owners that like to take their cars to the track. Hopefully the tracks will enforce these rules as loose as they do some of the others.

Congrats on becoming a member of the 12 sec club. :cool: You should be running solid mid 12s in cooler weather.

Another vote for the Nittos. They are a good hooking tire and the tread will hold up nicely on the street. Plus, no scary tail sliding incidents in the rain unless you decide to give it too much throttle.

My original paint GN did not have glossy bumpers. I don't know if this was a bi-product of it having being exposed to the elements over the years or not since I didn't purchase the car new. The rest of the paint still had a gloss sheen to it but also plenty of orange peel so I had the car...

I'd eventually like to go back to running 23-24 psi boost like I did with the stock heads but probably won't go much over that if any. Just don't have the injector to safely run that kind of boost now. How are the 50's on a street car? Any driveabilty issues? I assume matched with the right chip...

Running blue tops now with the current setup but they are leaning out in 3rd gear at higher boost levels. What injectors do I need to supply this thing with the ported Champion heads? What have you guys run/seen with similar combos? With stock heads this car was in high 11 sec range but I...

I'm with STP. Check the tq converter. Must not be stalling high enough to light up the tires.

Hey, NTMD8ER really like your selection of vehicles :D I just ordered some zaino products and can't wait to try it on both my rides. Lot's of guys raving about this stuff on all the message boards.
