Congrats and welcome back!

**Sadie2** · 03-10-2014, 09:37 AM

yup im dumb cant figure out how to upload pics!

**pajeff02** · 03-10-2014, 04:27 PM

Pics need to be uploaded to a free photo hosting site like Photobucket. From there, you simply copy and paste the [IMG] code for the pic into your post on here.

Congrats on your find bud!

Remember next time that it's cheaper to keep her. That's how I got my 04 GTO to go with my 02 SS

ive got photobucket but when i click on the Image url thing and paste it here it tells me its denied due to some forbidden something or the other idk.

**Sadie2** · 03-12-2014, 11:55 AM

Ive done the photobucket thing but everytime i copy the link i get a message saying its denied due to some sort of forbidden text or code or whatnot thingy majig

Hmm. You may need to get past the 10 post/10 day membership requirement to be able to add pics to your posts. We were getting nailed with internet spammers a while back, so our Site Administrator revised the security settings to cut back on the garbage.

What all do you have for mods?

**Sadie2** · 03-12-2014, 12:41 PM

As far as I can tell since we just got it last week it has LT headers, SLP Straight pipes, BMR tower brace, drilled and slotted rotors, and a 4L85E transmission!

**pajeff02** · 03-12-2014, 12:44 PM

Good mix of mods. Has the tunnel been "hammer tuned" to fit the 85 trans? Any plans for some more upgrades -- if so, a set of subframe connectors would be a good first choice.

**Sadie2** · 03-12-2014, 12:53 PM

Idk maybe just lower it (which I consider subframes to be a must) and leave it be for awhile my last ws6 I put the twin APS TURBO system on it, strange s60 rear, and was a lot of money to not have anything to show for it to this day! Vengeance racing did all of my work and I'm sure if I do anything to my car even though I don't live in Ga anymore I will order through them because they took great care of me! But now you have me talking about it a bigger intake manifold and throttle body, and some pullies nothing crazy! A

And I'm not sure I follow with the tunnel been hammer tuned? Like but everything fits lol

**pajeff02** · 03-12-2014, 03:13 PM

The "80" series transmissions are based on the good ole Turbo 400 with the addition of an overdrive and have a bigger case than the "60" series transmissions that are derived from the 700R4. I always understood that to stick a 400 or an 80 in our cars that you had to massage the transmission tunnel with a hammer.

**Sadie2** · 03-12-2014, 05:10 PM

Ahh well however they did it idk it's in there and it works wonderfully

**pajeff02** · 03-13-2014, 02:46 AM

I went with a Performabuilt Level II 4L60E in our car together with a 3,200 stall. That combo dropped my quarter mile times by 4/10ths and has worked great so far. Next up for ours is a new fuel pump. Georgia to Utah? Does that mean you just joined the "I have to park my car for four to five months out of the year" club?
