MrMeanGreen Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 A friend of mine named Dave Underwood has a LS1 SS that's undergoing some surgery. A few years ago, the car was a street car that some people around here saw, as he's local and lives on the southwest side. Really nice guy for those that have met him (he was the Vette at last year's COFBA Norwalk Day that blew the rear in his C5). Anyways, his SS has been undergoing a dramatic change to, well, not a street car. The work is being performed by Wheel 2 Wheel Motorsports out of Michigan, a company making huge advancements in LSx technology and fabrication. Another friend of mine (Reckless on here, Todd also tuned my car years ago) just started there as their Project Manager. Anyways, the SS. Pics are nice, but don't do it justice. Please remember to clean up your pants afterwards. http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-1.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-2.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-3.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-4.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-5.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-6.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-7.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-8.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-9.jpg http://w2wpowertrain.com/images/Du/dw-10.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Dave is a nice guy, I talked to him a few times when I worked at Firestone and at Phillips. The first time I saw his F-body was at Trails when it had a Procharger. I was happy with my 9in. rearend untill I saw his! I should have owned a roofing company!!!

MaTS1200 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 That is one incredible setup. That certainly goes under the "no expense spared" category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 W2W does some great fabrication work. That looks like an awesome set-up. Although, a friend of mine was far from impressed from their chassis dyno operators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 That is a clean shop and the care to not chip that paint while on the stands was first class. Man I bet that thing will scream. For people always saying FRAM filters suck *cough* rl *cough* some shops use them on $$$$$ engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
