Default Hello from Wilmington, DE

Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself on here. I've been a "lurker" on here for the past couple of years now and it's time to come out of the "closet" now that I've gotten myself into an LSX car. My name is Andrew and I recently picked up an 02 Electron Blue Z06 and I have to say I'm loving the new ride. I come from a turbo RWD import background and have tuned quite a few respectable setups in my time (AEM, VPC, DSMLink, LS1Edit, HPTuners) so I'm no amateur when it comes to EFI. My previous car was a 94 Supra Turbo that made mid 700s to the tires and has been bottom 10s in the 1/4.

As for the current car - I've already started tinkering (Vararam, C6Z shfiter, HP tuners) and really love the performance per $$$ this car provides.

Nice to meet you all and looking forward to meeting a lot of you at some of the NorthEast meets!!

Andrew

Hey man welcome and congradulations on the new ride. Im in the Elkton Md area, but grew up in Newark. Are you a member on first state gm performance? It used to be first state f body. If not you should check that out as well. They have a monthly meet as well. Hopefully my TA will be back out on the road soon. Hope to see your car around man.

Good stuff. My buddies and I have been known to cruise through WC and Newark so if you see my car around stop by and say hi.
