1998 WS6 6speed
This is what I started with
Then I got to work on setting it different from the "others"
I like to put the stickers of the products I use under the hood
I used a paint called Krylon Fusion to do the dash, door handle covers (inside), center cousel, fuse lid, and the pontiac emblom where the TCS is at. I originally bought an expensive "car interior paint" for 20 bucks a can. Not worth it. The Krylon works great.
I put in a planet audio amp and ten, sounds great. Now its time for some performance mods.
After many of the free air mods I went with the Borla. Loved it but.........
when I put on these jet hot headers it sounded a little raspy together. Friends tell me that my buddies Camaro sounds mean (Same headers but with a Hooker Cat Back), but mine sounds evil. Kinda cool.
When I dynoed it with just the cat back I got 303HP at the rear wheels. After the headers I got 333HP, nice gain.
With all that power I needed to put some BMR suspension products on. The Panhard bar, Lower Control Arms with Relocation bracket, and Sub Frame connectors make it much more riggid and eliminated the wheel hop. I also got a strut tower brace.....no regrets with that either.
Time to take it to the track. 1st time out without the headers.....13.6 2nd time with headers.....13.6
Why you ask. Factory clutch cant hold the power. Next upgrade is a racing clutch and tranny rebuild. Stay tuned for that one.
Hope you enjoyed it.
