So I’m convinced this is the only LS forum left alive in any real resemblance of the ancient times we once knew. Just picked up this 13 Sedan with 61k miles and the Autonation dealership sold it to me with a 4k mile/90 day 100% parts/labor almost b2b warranty. She’s been in the shop for about a week and a half now getting a new blower, rear diff, shocks & a couple other odds and ends to get her back to 100%. I’m well versed in the ls platform and have already pressed the checkout button on many a part and have them in my garage (along with a bnib boost district gen2 2650) but plans with this girl are really just to yield 700-750whp and be able to get into the 10’s af Bradenton/Orlando…have some nice shiny parts in the garage awaiting her return…Arh 2” long system, 2.4 griptec, 100mm isolator, under hood tank, pump, HX, aux fuel system, e85 kit, 1050x’s, pds3 cam (likely going to sell this and go with one of Matt’s cams), hvhp melling pump, c5r chain, ls7 lifters, & cutouts because my oldest daughter told me she doesn’t want it loud like my race truck looking forward to being back around a group of people that love their cars & modifying them as much as I do!

I’m still unsure if I should put the 2650 on the car or not as I have no desire to modify the heads more than changing valve springs right now and it’s still a stock cube LSA…that ugly brick of a truck in the last photo however has ls3 heads I’ll just have to drop compression from 12:1 to put the blower on to that & I’ll take the bottle out of the truck & put it on the car down the road.

Either way it feels good to be back!!!

Nice ride, it looks clean. I know what you mean about finding a platform with quality people. About 10 years ago I was active in LS GTO community, but FPFQ hit it hard. Welcome back

As an avid forum lover it absolutely makes sense I would make this post in the 100000% wrong place too

I had WHINY V on my first v2 but it appears that was already taken…I’ll forever want Formato’s wife’s WHINER but I’ve already applied for FAFO 247 & I’m hoping it was approved bc it’s no longer available on the site if they end up denying that WHINY is available and may just go that route (obviously that 1QWKSS is the plate for the TBSS)
