Only 2 v6s have their turbos. 1 is hunterv6. His car is fine and well. The other is switchblade (I believe that's the username) and I think something happened to his pistons. Either way, don't do hps. Their kits are crap. Look up hps in the v8 section and see how bad things are.

Doing some aesthetics as well. Got bored of the red so I ripped it off and just went with some gloss black hash marks on the car. Really like it! Looking to do some painting on my bowties and such to keep me occupied while I get more money for mods. Looking into a new front bumper soon. Like the zl1 front bumper so I might save for that soon. Also like the mpd z force hood or the vis ams, might do that in the future. I also have a very important package coming in for me on Friday...

Gretchen's car is an LFX now though so I don't think his build is a good comparison to an LLT build. He can do all the tuning himself so that makes things a lot easier. I do agree about the tranny part though. Kind of. I know an aftermarket clutch is being designed soon so that might help. Other than that, I don't know because I have an auto and I haven't seen any problems with the auto yet.
