LS1 GTA.... ohhhhhhhhhhh yeah, it's ALIVE!

Got it fired up last night and took it up and down the street on open headers! No real big issues right now... just some fine tuning and little things to work on here and there. It sounded downright sick on open headers, just ask Josh (darkside) or Tim (XXX). I'm glad to finally see all my hard work pay off. I got the frontend aligned today, y-pipe made, stock WS6 exhaust put on it along with an electric cutout, and got it inspected. Just have to get the plates renewed and it's good to go. Still needs a tune and other small details though.

*Oh yeah, if you're driving around here you'll probably see some 13" wide posi marks on the streets..... that's only half throttle so far. Pulls like a biatch.

Looks like the front end sits a little high... probably bc of that 150 lbs or so you shaved off...
