I recently got the chance to buy back my 2006 TBSS, with 69,000 miles. The only problem is it is knocking, and I think stacked a rod bearing on #7. We pulled the spark plug and the electrode was crushed. So now she is back home and waiting for a hellova makeover!

I bought the TBSS new in late 2006 and with a K&N, muffler and superchip programmer it went 13.64 @ 99.

I'm hoping to build a 402 or 408 with l92 heads and intake (or maybe LS3 intake), long-tubes, off road y-pipe, BIG cam, c6 pan and 3500-4000 stall.

Any ideas or opinions on aftermarket parts is greatly appreciated!

Well put down my down payment on the 402, got a c6 pan & A/C bracket, cam, ls3 heads with trunnion upgrade..
Now just need to drop the coin on headers and y-pipe, spal E-fans, converter and figure if I'm going 4L80e or try to make the 4L70e work for a while.

Thanks LowSilver.

I decided on going with the 4L80E (had one) and I bought the transgo HD2, I also got a stall from Circle D, I went the 4L80 LS Pro Series Stage II 258mm 3B (3200-3400, Circle D is a great company to deal with). I also just received the Kooks 1 7/8 headers and the Kooks Y-pipe. now just gotta get the motor back and make an order to PCM of NC and get the spal fans and relay, and put it back together..
