My new LS2 Toy!! ENJOY 
Hi my name is Ryan i live in IL.. I am a very big car enthusiast.. I have been tuning imports for the last two years.... I decided I would give the LS series a try because of the gas mileage, reliablitly, and of coure the accessible power...
I figure winter time is the right time to purchase a hot rod especially being located in the midwest... So after alot of searching and researching I decided to get this 6.0 Silverado truck..... The only down fall is i'm in Afghan right now so i won't be able to enjoy it till April...Anyways I should have a 11 sec. sitting in the garage by this Sunday!!!!
