Welcome. I didn't know that the TB SS was out yet. I'll have to keep on the lookout for one.

Looked at one today at the local dealership. The differences are subtle, yet well done. The chevy 20" rims actually look great. Didn't get to see the 6.0 under the hood...get pics of that for sure!

It is rated at 395 HP and 400 ft/lbs of torque. It is actually an LS2 with a truck intake and also has ram air thru the grill just below the headlights. I have not tested it yet, but it is supposed to run 0-60 in 5.8(?) seconds I believe, and 13.9 or so in the quarter. I will definintely be running it, just to see what it will do but only once or twice since it is actually the wife's daily driver.

I do plan on putting in a K&N air filter, changing all the fluids to synthetics, and would like to contact HPtuners for some software to get rid of all that damn torque mgmt in the PCM. That will probably be the only things done to it (that she will let me do), aside from some paint work.

I have a NX wet system from my HD that I traded in on it, but I guess I'll just have to put that on one of my other play toys ...
