Default New from So Cal!

Hey guys, I've been browsing this forum for a bit and finally introducing my self.

Name is Ryan, i'm new to the LS platform engines. for the last 6 years or so I've been driving a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ and its now got about 285,000 miles on it and still runs great. I picked up the 07 Classic at the beginning of July this year and have already put some money in to mods. The truck only had about 86,000 miles on it. So far I've put new wheels and tires, stainless LT headers from Texas Speed, Magnaflow cat back, aFe drop in filter with an Airaid Jr intake pipe, Belltech shocks all around with Belltech 1.5 inch real lowering shackles. Last weekend I had the truck dyno tuned and it made 298lbft torque and 284hp to the wheels on 91 octane. I have many future mods planned and looking forward to some guidance from you guys here if/when I need help.
