Stock LS6/LS2 springs... they look trick huh?
I thought they were Patriots, or some other aftermarket deal!

What's your HP/TQ? I'm at 500 rwhp 494 rwtq.
Mods?
My info/mods:
- Amsoil Z-Rod 10w-30 + Lubro-Moly MOS2 + NAPA Platinum Filter
- Maggie 112 Supercharger @ 7psi
- JBA shorty Headers, Corsa X-pipe, Borla XR1 mufflers and 4in Borla tips
- Tuned at West Coast GM Performance
- Billet Pro shifter
- Full Pedders Suspension
- 18 in Boyd Coddington rims
- JHP gauges (LOVE 'em), Rear backup sensors
That exhaust setup does not hurt your ears/make them ring??!!
I had to dump my 3.5" borla XR1 (for a HUGE Magnaflow 'motorhome' muffler), as I was losing what little hearing ability I had left! (And I still have OEM style catcons on it!)

Cars engines are almost always clean nowadays, esp. for well under 100k.
Having the engine as clean as in these pictures would be a miracle for a 1969 GTO, for instance!
But I do note discoloration on the rockers and hold down bolts. it is not as clean as you think.

No, not loud! Only when in a high gear at a slightly lower than normal speed is it "deep", that's it!

You can remove the varnish stains on those rocker arms by using MaxLife.

Yup, I forgot about the TQs being made in that size, as are the old style BFG DRs.
