what's the dumbest newb question you've asked? ok, admit it - we've all asked a real dumb LSx-related question before - predominantly in our earlier LSx-years. just wanted to start a thread to see what kinda funny questions have been asked in the past.... mostly to make me feel better after some of the questions i've thought to myself and asked abroad.
ill start - i remember thinkin that SS for Camaros stood for Stainless Steel

Been an LS1 owner for 8 years now. I can barely remember being new to these motors.

How about forgetting to put the oil cap on after an oil change, then wondering where the leak is. Or leaving a screwdriver under the hood and finding it a month later in the same place you left it.

If I have a simple question I'll always search or use google before coming here. Especially now that I am a Mod, gotta keep tricking all you regular users into thinking that I know everything...

I think the one of best newb question are one of these kind of questions: "If my car starts out with 320HP, will adding an SLP lid=10HP,an 85mm MAF=5HP,a ram air scoop=10HP and SLP headers=45HP give me a total of 390HP?"
Maybe I should have got SLP headers.
