a few new goodies

a friend of mine with a 96 WS6, fast mother i tell you what, sold me his old LT4 knock module. he did a custom tune from pcmforless.com and so he didnt need his old LT4 module. havent installed it yet so dont ask if i feel a difference. only $20 so what the hay.

oh and i finally got new tires. my kumhos were fuct in the rear, about 1/32" left. the front had horrible shoulder wear from my toe so i fixed that today at work and then when we were getting ready to close i threw some new tires on.

they are pretty much a generic no name, but since i work there i got all 4 for $290 out the door. installation was obviously free. theyre Mirada Sport GTX. yeah, i never heard of em either. but i dont care, they have V speed rating (149 MPH) and a treadwear of 400. thats pretty high, most tires ive seen around the warehouse are 320 treadwear.

all in all im very happy with them, i no longer break the rear loose when i gun it, i actually move! yay! and the shifting chirps are deeper. god i love new rubber!

k im turning into arch and talking a lot. here are a few pics.

pizza cutters?

oh and call me crazy, but i feel a difference from the LT4 KM. chirping second is much easier to do, it feels much smoother above 4k rpm and 0-60 is much better.

but like i said, call me crazy, it could be in my mind. my the neighbors can tell you, its fast. i got yelled out 3 times just now testing it

Hey Caleb.................and "Congratulations" by the way,......turning into me isn't such a bad thing.

It shows growth on your part... ....but since you don't like the way I leave long post's, I'll wrap it up with: "Good Deal on the knock module and the tires"! :thumbsup:

Neighbors, lol....I'm sure many of our neighbors love us... I think we are competing for the three loudest vehicles in the area. (the truck, Trans Am, and Camaro) Plus Ryan drives his like a bat out of hell.

Yes my Neighbors hate me with a passion, I allways **** them off last week they called the cops on my because i was blasting rob zombie when i was washing my car, then two weeks ago my neibor told me spin them then i think the ******* called the cops because they stoped at my house when i was gone. I know they won't miss me when im gone for the army thats for sure.
