Default hello, newbie here

hello all. my start here was a little rough but im trying not to let jerks bother me anymore.

anywho, i just picked up my first ls1 car 3-4 weeks ago. so far i love it. i have had 2 lt1 in the past and decided to sell my truck and see what an ls1 is like. so far, i am honestly impressed.

the car is 1998 MBM A4 z28. the car went 13.7 @ 104.64 with a loudmouth and lid, 90k miles factory plugs and wires, and on street tires. i guess thats not a bad start. i plan on starting to mod early fall-ish.

so far this site has helped me with quite a bit on info. i spend alot of time searching and reading.

also, for the mods, my post count still says 0 but i think i already have around 20 posts? any idea why it still says 0? thanks for any help.

Sounds like you need a tune-up. I'd think you should be in the 13.2-13.5 range. What was your 60' like? Nice car! Congrads!

2.0 60' on street tires. i went full 100% weight. i just wanted to get a couple runs to see what the car would do. weather was crappy and humid too. i was expecting 13.5 range. i was kinda disappointing. plugs and wires will happen next week but im doubt ill go back to the track before fall or atleast nittos.

that was also with 2.73 winding and winding and winding. it hit third gear just before the trap. but, i have a 3.42 rear waiting to get install as soon as i get a few spare free hours.
