New PCM
Last saturday, I brought my car to a dyno to test it and tune the pcm. But thanks to a GM PCM's "expert", the PCM programming was fried and had to order a tuned PCM from PCMforless.com. Today, that PCM arrived and couldn't wait to install it. As soon as I started my engine, I could feel it running better, and air/fuel mix smelled different thanks to the tuning.

Axle Shafts replacements and TransCooler
Since I noticed that one of my axle shaft was shut, today, I had my Moser Engineering Axle shaft replacements installed as well as my B&M Transmission SuperCooler. Now, the squeeking sound my car had on the axle is gone.

2002 WS6 Rear End
Today, my mechanic did a great job on my car. I had installed my 40k mile "new" rear end and aluminum driveshaft that I bought on summer. It has all the LS1 rear brakes and LSD with 3.42 gears. Also, he installed the rear control arms polyurethane bushings and changed the tranny filter. Now I have all that installed and a smooth shifting tranny. 
I live on an apartment, so...things like this can't be done at home.
