    Looking for some input from the community on what products they would like to see developed for the w-body platform. Open to any and all suggestions..

    A few items we have either on the block or in development right now:
    -Brand New Turbo Kit (many options and will support some really nice HP)
    -Assembled Forged Short-Blocks (LS4 & 3800)
    -Aluminum Cat-Back Exhaust System (shave some lbs and offers a different sound)
    -Brand New Cold Air Induction Kit
    -Turn Key LS4 Conversions for 97-03 Cars
    -4T80e Bolt-In Solution

    Obviously not everything listed above is "new," but some more options to the current market offerings never can hurt!

    So what would you like to see that you feel the segment is missing? Lets brainstorm!

    Iffffffffff I go back to Wash D.C in 2016 straight after this C-RAM mission in Afghanistan, (leave tomorrow) I'd for damn sure be dropping my caged car off to get fit for a 3800/4t80 setup! Just a dummy/JY block and mock fit I could manage the rest. If I get to go back to Wash DC right after this I'll be there for a minimum of 2 years and I will have a 20 foot encloused trailer to move back to DC with and transport a car around if I needed sooooo I pray that I get to do it!


    Otherwise let me SCREAM some more for the love of GOD please offer a bolt-in/weld-in if user chooses to 4t80/3800 mount kit!!!! This needs to be 1st order of business! No need to ship cradles people just need some kind of template or measurements to go off of where to place the mounts. I feel like I could come awefully close to the setup Dave from TEP did just by looking at the pics from the 3800/4t80 setup he has posted pics of on this site.

    Also as a little hint I don't care if its stealing someone else's thunder because I want to see more options and progress from this so called "dead platform"
    Take a look at the adapter plate threads on thechicagogarage.com in the 3800 section.

    I feel like an adapter for any m122/tvs off any 4.6 terminator/trinity 5.8 to fit on any SC lower intake manifold would offer a nice middle ground for people that already have decent SC setups instead of demodding entirely and going turbo..... The cost for those M122's and even the TVS blowers are coming down quite a bit so I feel this would be a nice option cost wise instead of going full retard on a turbo setup.
    How I treat my car: wreck,fix, repeat.

    ^^^^ Exactly what he said. M112 adapter would be ...amazing. 4t80e kit would be a necessity at that point.

    BTW, 98broke, safe travels to you and thanks for doing what you do.

    In the works. I am hammering out the LS4 ones first, but I will have 304 schedule 10 tubular turbo manifolds available.

    Define reasonable, and which suspension components are you referring to?

    Lateral Links, Trailing Arms, Tubular Control Arms with poly bushings.
    Maybe better Strut Tower Braces and Bigger Sway Bars too.

    I personally think that BMR charges way too much for their lateral links and trailing arms but I could be wrong.
    ZZP's tubular control arms seem to be crappy since they are more for track racing and not for the streets.

    Sorry if I was vague on the reasonably priced issue. I just thought for the price competitors want, the product doesn't seem worth it

    Not a problem.
    I will look into some of the other pricing and see what I could do to offer competitive solutions.

    I'd go for serious suspension upgrades as well seeing at I believe this is the one area most difficult to find acceptable components and we must all 'settle' for less and just deal with an OK suspension. Of course coilovers is what I'm talking about. Not everyone is just out for straight line track speed ; )

    I've always been accepting of what the 3800 brings to the table and it's ceiling (power). But lacking has always been a truly tuned suspension to overcome the weight distribution and characteristics of the W-body without dropping serious dimes for a custom suspension.

    New supercharger options. How about bringing back the Whipple? I know turbo owners will be saying "just install a turbo and be done with it". I just like the whine!

    make up a set of coilovers using a BC racing or similar set that you will be able to lower the car without losing strut travel. they should come with camber plates, too.

    A couple aluminum valve cover designs for the l67 would be nice.

    I've always liked the idea of an LS4 swap into the 97-03's and I'd like to hear the sound difference of an aluminum exhaust. Also, affordable headers that actually fit and (for those of us in the salt/snow belt) tubing that isn't paper thin.
