New guy from Tennessee
What's up guys. I'm new to the site & just wanted to introduce myself. I've been reading up, man is there A LOT of great info on this site. I'm generally familiar with LSx but don't know much about specific information. It's a lot to take in.
I have a 85 Iroc (obviously) drag car & I just bought a 98 Z28. Right now trying to decide exactly how to mod it to get what I want out of it & still be completely streetable (e.g., the wife can still drive it ) I'll start asking questions after I've read & searched a bit more but in the mean time, feel free to offer any suggestions.
It's all stock except for the C5 vette wheels I just put on & a hooker aerochamber muffler (single 3" in, 3" out) I had to have a quick cheap exh. sound upgrade. Doesn't sound too bad but it REALLY NEEDS A CAM. Oh, & it has the 2.73 gears & A4.
Anyway, here are a couple of pics as it sits now.

Whats up, you need to come to the bridge in Nashville this saturday. I went last sat. and was the only LS1 Z-28 out there. There's alot of guys from nashville in the Middle Tennessee F-body club; you should go to the site, it's www.mtfba.org. Anyways, the 2.73 sucks, I just put a 6-spd rear in mine a few weeks ago w/ the 3.42. I would put a gear in the car before i did any motor work though, or bolt ons; unless you drive 100 miles a day.

Thats crazy though, what are the odds? I go to school at Tech in cookeville and was hanging out with a bunch of fraternity brothers that wkend, as well as putting the 6-spd rear in the car. I thought you had me though when we raced, my comp still hasn't been changed for the gear...
The CLS was EXTREMELY nice though, I just couldn't help myself from trying to intrest you in a race.

I know, what are the odds; the CLS put up a good fight, I thought you would pull on me hard when you went past me, and then I started catching up. I looked at the speedometer and it was buried, I was freakin out. Then about 10 minutes down the road i realized the guages havn't been calibrated..lol.. I'm up for a rematch, I might have the 3200 by then though.....

Thanks for the Welcome guys. I live on Monteagle Mtn. near Manchester & work in Nashvegas. Drive SUCKS every day. I just knew I was gonna get back on here & get flamed for having the gold car. Only 1 post about the color, not too bad. I'll check out the Mid. TN F-body club.
