LE2 heads
LE ported intake
LE 227/235 110 LSA cam
LPP Headers & custom Y-pipe w/ Vibrant 3.5" merge
Magnaflow Single 3.5" exhaust
8.8 Rear End
UMI rear suspension
C5 front brakes
etc....

1st of the year I decided to change up a few things. So I ordered up some new parts and out came the jackstands

Strange S60 narrowed 3" per side, spool, 35 spline axles, 5/8 studs
Strange Pro Series rear brakes
Strange chromoly driveshaft

Billet Specialties Street Lites
15x4's (2.25" BS) with 165/80r15
15x10's (4.5" BS) with 275/60r15 Nittos

Also bought LS1 front brakes, spindles, etc to be able to run 15" wheels up front. It needs a good cleaning but glad to have it off the jack stands.

Last pic reminded me that I changed up the exhaust too. Since the car already had a nice y-pipe I decided to stick with a single. So I ordered

Kooks 3.5" Race Series Muffler
(2) Stainless 3.5" turndowns off of Ebay (15" long each & I cut the ends off of the turndowns)

This setup saved around 30lbs compared to the previous Magnaflow setup.

I've never been to the shootout. It's usually the same weekend as my little girl's birthday.
