I want something loud as shit and still remain clear. 80mph on the freeway with the t-tops off and still be clear. I had a 3way mb quarts (before the buyout) set in my convertible vette years ago and it sounded good with the top down. Single 12 sub fibetglassed in the spare tire location.

Its a fun project. More my style. My wife would rather go watch me race than go to an audio show. Fun for the whole family. And I have a back seat again.

Jon: the skip shift skips you from 1st to 4th under light throttle. Conserving fuel. Just a pain in the ass. The rear O2s are not really used anyway so I replaced them with wideband O2s and A/F ratio gauge. More on this later. Godsmack. I've used Ricks camaros, Hawks third gen, eBay, and a lot of the factory SS things came from SLP since they are the company that made the car an SS. Not GM.

you can turn it off via hp tuners or ls1 edit but I have not had those programs for 8 years or so. I will end up getting one of them again further down the build. I need to turn off the rear O2s anyway. My lamda sensors replaced the downstream O2s.

Ordered new seat leather to replace the craptastic factory cloth that's stained and faded to hell. Well that's all the large components for the inside. Also bought all new heater vents, switch and radio bezels, door handles and locks. Pretty much every single piece inside except dash is new. Door panels will be wrapped with matching leather.

All new SLP floormats Seats are just sittling in there for mock up purposes. Stock shifter vs. New Pro 5.0 billet shifter with Hawks short throw and SLP leather knob. SLP skip shift eliminator . If you know what this is you can appreciate it! while I'm in here I added an Innovative motorsports wideband O2 reader. Hehe. New center console. Just needed to swap over the auto top plate for my 6 speed plate.

really? Was just a tiny build anyway.Plans changed. The new body style Silverado is in stock now so ill likely be trading this in real soon. Ill probably just use this gear somewhere else.
