Garage - XK8 LS6

January 7, 2012
Description:
I replaced the anemic 4 ltr motor with a worked 04 LS6 corvette motor, and 4L65e automatic. 438 RW HP. Ported and polished heads, mild cam, ported TB, and intake. fresh air intake. beefed up tranny.
Runs like a dream and blows away any stock corvette.

I Just bought the car Nov 2011.
It is a coupe, and have always loved the lines.

I installed a modified 2004 LS6 Corvette motor. I got heads ported, comp cam, custom exhaust. A beefed up 4L65e automatic tranny.
Suspension Modifications:
New prothane swaybar bushings. new ball joints and shocks. I added grease fittings to rear suspension.

20" wheels and tires
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
re done front seats with new leather. Up graded sound system all new speakers and 12" kiker sub with amp. in rear tray. New radio with Ipod and USB ports. big improvment over stock.
Future Modifications:
needs limited slip diff. with this much power.
I don't plan to race the car, I just can't leave well enough alone;-)
