Default How much of a part does ls1tech play in making you want to be faster?

I have been thinking long and hard about many modifications on my car, and have come to the realization that ls1tech is fanning my modding flame to rediculous levels. I would bet if I did not have ls1tech to go to each day, I wouldn't care that I am running mid 12's. I may not have even tried to get to run 11's at all! Maybe, who knows but I don't goto the track much and don't street race at all.

Well just help put you in the right direction on your addiction. Think of it as a 12 step program to modding.

I've read stories and mod lists of guys running 10's and quicker and dreamed. I spend most of my time looking at people's setups that are at the next level I want to be at. If it weren't for LS1Tech, I most likely wouldn't give a ****... Buuuuut since it's here as nomoreWS6 said, it fans the flames.

On the flip side, this place is great when you have a problem you need help with too.

LS1tech is a lot of things to me. It's the reason I go to bed late, the reason I am running late to work cause I get sucked into reading threads and the reason why I have to jutisfy spending money to the wife. --> "But everybody else has a cam and a new rear end. Honey, this will be the LAST major purchase for my car." A little arm twisting and it's cool.

Sorry, wayyyy off topic, but how do you have a formula trans am!?!?



yeah, tech is crazy like that. I don't have an LS1, but I have a bad feeling that I'm about to be coming into money and spending wayyyyyy too much money on an LS1 f-body and mods. At least this is a good place to learn the best way of going about everything. Thanks to tech, I know the best way to go is to order the tornado,get a couple of those electric superchargers, and top it all with a FAST90/90 intake.
