Talking what to look for.. from day 1??

Hello.. I just got rid of my LT1 and now have a new LS1. What should I be looking for right away if anything?

Any known issues?

TIA!

As far as problems, i know that piston slap and oil consumption are fairly common problems on these cars. I personally suffer from oil consumption

Hey vhjk123, I'm assuming you go to the Tulsa drags since you live so close, I'm about an hour and a half away from there and have a 00' black SS, I'd love to meet up some time. Here's my email:classicauto@***-internet.com

ya i go to Tulsa international raceway. I havent been up there in a while because i heard that about 2 months ago they are making everyone wear a helmet which i do not have right now. If you know if thats just a rumor i definately would meet up with you at the track. What do you run anyway and what mods do you have?
