thanks for the tips Keith. the vents didn't whistle prior to having them rebuilt, and that was with old dry rubber... go figure.
i guess the next mission will be to search and destroy unwanted noises. I'm lucky that the girlfriend is always eager to help pinpoint stuff like that while i drive haha
suspension set up is, 3 inch spindles, 2 inch springs front w/ bell tech drop shocks. maybe the springs are a little stiff for the ultra-light all aluminum LS?
rear is just a flip kit with drop shocks, gonna swap to extenders/stock length shocks soon.
tires are 245/45/20 front and 295/40/20 rear. I"ll check tire pressures and also take it back in for a re-alignment to get some more caster in there.

full stereo revamp is also in the works, so I probably will just be turning up the tunes more often than not haha
