Thumbs up First run in(sort of) with 99 ss ls1 after s trim install...

I was cruising locally testing out the 3 week old S trim last Sat, and smoked 1st and 2nd testing out boost and fuel guage (just installed) with a friend passenger. Obviously this ls1 (that pewter color with ram air and red ss badges, I think it a 99?!) saw me, although I never saw him, until this silver slug comes quick up on me. Not riding my a$$, but hanging close. I'm stuck behind slow car on 1 lane road, and he turns off. I decided to see if he can keep up. Obviously not, but he was on it. I was pulling away pretty easily. I know I just bolted on 125+ horses, but man, this was awesome! I turned off a side road to chat and hope to run him just to see how I can hold up on a two lane road, and even signalled early. The bastard drops down a gear and chirps. Yeah, that realllllllly impressive! We were laughing are a$$es off! I will be looking for him again to run!!!
Not super impressive, but at least I know that I can easily walk a (stock?) ls1.
