Tomorrow gets a new rad!

Made it 100km north for a car show. Stopped, and see Dex-Cool dripping under car. Took a good look, damn plastic tank on Right side of rad cracked. So JB weld and a loose rad cap kept 100% of fluid in it to get home. But rather be safe then sorry. So New rad goes in with Tstat and coolant :).

Looks like it needs a bit of a drop in the front end. Maybe some bigger wheels too. Are those the 16" wheels or the 17" WS6 wheels?

Front sits LITTLE high. and 16"

Winter mod plan :

Comp Cam

222/224 .569/.569 112 LSA
LS6 Yellow valve springs
LS2 Chain
Tune

Possible Headers/Y and maybe Ls6 Intake.

Cant wait to hear it idle the first time :D

Hopefully pics will follow :D

Upgrade to hardened pushrods since you will be into higher RPM more often.

I'm not sure about your spring choice. I believe that cam is on the limits of what the LS6 springs can handle. Do some more searching in the "Internal Engine" section to confirm that they'll be o.k.

Also, might as well install new valve seals. It's not much extra work while your in there.

Good luck! That cam should really wake it up.

Thanks man, should be pretty fun!

Also confirmed some Pacesetter Coated Headers and a Y for it, should be a fun toy next year!

Got some new rims...

17" ZR1's. They were gunmetal when I got them, did a test fit and liked the look of the wheel, but wanted a diff colour :

So we sanded them up :

Ended up Semi-gloss black, with the tint, and lowering of it next year should look very stealth :

Better pics are on Cam, but to lazy to upload em right now.

Rough idea of before/after..although rims will obvy be bigger, just paint sucks, ahha :

ZR1's will look good.

Make sure you keep all your emissions stuff on the car when you start modding it. I don't want you to get bent over by the MOE like I did.

Looks good Bob. I too will be getting my hands on a set of Pacesetter LT's. Vetty was telling me the Pacesetter Y is no good, any thoughts? I was debating getting it with the headers because one of my buddies is the head honcho at Noyz Boyz here in Scarborough.

For the LT1? Im not sure, I've never head anything about the Y's... :S. Noyz Boyz, heard goo things, should get them to get ya it all set up...if they know the flaws with that Y I'm sure they could fab it up to flow better
