I ordered rear suspension setup, and absolutely love those folks.

Sam will talk your ear off, but he can set you up for your "preferred" ride.

They have over 8,000 members on LS1LT1.com, MOSTLY LT1's. Most of the problems I find are the Opti-sparks.

Aside from that, LT's have been repeatedly posted that they are better from the bottom up, but don't have the high-speed capabilities of the LS1's.

Why have you had to replace the plugs a third time already? Nice Hawk, were did you come up with the air lid? Replaced @ 40K (no reason, just inspecting and getting set for my Drag Racing season).....and now at 84K. Stock SLP Blackwing airlid, and just clearcoated w/Firehawk decal emblem I located ...

Had Denso originally and have replaced twice now w/NGK TR55 Part #3951, unless you are running N02. 3-1 price ratio between the (2) plugs. Even w/SLP tuning, not had any problems w/the NGK's. Got 40+K on the first set with some evidence of burning hot. Very inexpensive and reliable IMHO, but my ASE ...

Maybe somebody more knowledgable will post, but I seem to recall that the Auburn was the standard GM Diff on F-Bodies until around 2000. SLP had the optional Torsen dif, which then became the standard GM Diff around 2001. apparently the durability is not a problem, but SLP just had better specs or ...

Have both on my '02, and no complaints, but I did swap out the rear shocks/springs for personal reasons, totally unrelated. Great for SCCA type racing IMHO. Fantastic cornering response w/very little sway. Just make sure you keep up the service on your AAA rear diff. I have over 45 passes at the tra...

83K on my 2002, but SLP replacement parts are becoming more difficult to locate (discontinued). To answer your question.....NO PROBLEMS except the sail panel bubbling issue which is a random occurence on some models.

VATS is the term used to describe the OEM security system:

Vehicle Anti-Theft system. I've only heard of this problem TWICE now in the (5) years of reviewing various f-body boards. If PontiacFan says that is what is it, I would pursue his recommendation first.
