haven't done much to my ride in a very long time !! I have been gathering parts and just forming a plan... the L92 pictured above along with the ls3 conversion is going to put off for a while! I'm going to concentrate on modding the ls1 instead.

I just got ordered some parts and have the following..
1. Advanced induction CNC ported 226CC heads with dual springs
2. GM Hot Cam for LS1 #88958733 " I know i'm leaving a lot of power on the table but emissions are needed'... My tuner says he can get it to pass!
3. Melling oil pump #10296
4. ARP head, cam and balancer bolts
5. ls2 lifter trays
6. ls2 timing chain and gear
7. Morel lifters part #5315
8. Gm MLS head gaskets and all other OE gaskets IE; oil pan , front &rear mains and covers, valley cover, valve covers, cam retainer plate and exhaust
9. used set of these headers modded to accept the AIR injection and egr provisions to help pass visual test

10. kooks 3in high flow cats for a 04 gto
http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=KOO6700-CC&Store_Code=LPE


Ls1 stock bottom end lets see what it does!

BUT I have been trying to progress the Grand Prix...lol! My car's frame wasn't exactly in the best of shape due to improper jack positioned on the c channel portions.. So i went out and bought a spare from off of Craiglist and decided to use it instead..
