Red- 2002 T/A WS6
New to this
Hello to everyone... Just sign up to this site today I bought my 02 ws6 in December with only 53K miles I'm wanting to do a little work to it and I'm hoping to do it with help from everyone as I'm not sure what are the best mods to do for more HP... And also to learn about everyone.... So lets get started

On your ass flashing- my highbeams
Welcome over. With alcohol abusers they have a 12 step program. With cars we just like to skip the nonsense and go straight to poverty. Happy modding and welcome over.

Black & Blue- '02 WS.6 / '07 Suburban
Welcome! Best initial mods are subframe connectors and a lid. After that, the rear lower control arms and panhard bar are easy upgrades. Under the hood, a cooler thermostat, heads, cam and intake make the most power, just be careful as the stock rear isn't all that strong. There are also a couple of "free mods" that you can do, such as bypassing the throttle body coolant passage, opening up the lower airbox, adjusting the throttle bump stop (with a grinder) and porting the throttle body. Whatever you do, leave the MAF alone -- it is fine as is.

Welcome to the site. There are several different routes to go to make power. But you want to get your basics out of the way first. Suspension and traction, trans and rear end (since they are pretty weak from the factory)

After the lid, I started modding our car from the rear forward. It just made no sense to up the power if the back of the car could not handle it.
