Very nice mods, my man(or lady)! How did you create the light effect for the burnout? That's an intense picture!

**Tyler_LS1** · 01-07-2008, 10:19 PM

I didn't have a line lock at the time so I was just holding the brake down and since it was getting darker out, it lit up all the smoke

Il be getting the same cam, and have been thinking about going with texas speed and getting there H/C combo but am undecided on which heads to get.

btw, how does it ride with that suspension set up? any wheel hop?

I had wheel hop w/ the shocks/springs/sfc's/panhard bar but after I put in the Rear LCA's and the Torque Arm it went away

I usually dislike the smoothie wheels, but they look absolutely perfect on your car!

Five stars all the way around - nice job.

**BirdFlewLS1** · 01-12-2008, 04:21 PM

I love the car....I have the same color just dont have the hood, but soon i will. Do you run it at the strip? mine runs12.80's with no launch and traction control on on street tires, got some new slicks and line lock so i should beable to launch like a bat outta hell and take a tenth off or so.

I took it once and ended up getting an 11.97 @114 I posted the youtube link at the bottom of post #1 that shows it to.

Absolutely love the car man! Thats one of the most tastefully done WS6's I have seen.
I have a question- I have a really bad back but really wanted to lower my car with lowering springs and get Koni SA shocks- is the ride really stiff/harsh? If the Konis were adjusted to the least firm setting would the ride be much stiffer/harsher then stock? Thanks in advance.

**BirdFlewLS1** · 01-13-2008, 08:00 PM

our 99 30th car has the eibach kit....and it rides like a dream, it is hard to get out of tho. i love the look of the lowered cars but in a drag application its just easier to hook up and let it do its work the way it is at stock height(my 2 cents)

**LETHALxLS1** · 01-13-2008, 08:06 PM

What shocks did you have on it?

**Bigdeezs** · 01-14-2008, 12:21 AM

Sick car...411 is stout with cam only through an auto.

Thank you

I would say where I have my settings its a little stiffer then stock. I can still make them softer though, so on the softest setting I don't know how it would compare to stock. I'm sure you can get them to be pretty close to eachother w/ the proper settings though.

Ordered Patriot Performance LS6 Stage II heads today. Should have those in about 2.5 weeks
