Default My LS1-powered 1970 Corvette featured in a magazine

I just got my copy of it in the mail. Since the magazine isn't available in the US, I thought it would be ok to post the scan of the whole article here. The writer contacted me on fQuick and asked for photos and details. He wrote the article based on what I sent him. He actually working on swapping an LS1 into his 3rd gen Firebird which isn't such an easy task since he's in Poland.

I'm pretty psyched about it getting published.

I could make out the words Corvette, Ls1, and Walbro in the article. Guess I can read some other languages that I don't know! Congrats, btw!

Hello there

I was the writer I finally made it to the forums. I am glad that you liked the article

My Pontiac Firebird can be seen here, second on from top:
http://www.vette.com.pl/nowe_projekty.htm

Not much of progress recently My mechanics are busy with other cars at the moment and my Formula is just sitting without an engine waiting for an LS1 that lies next to it

I am a complete newbie as it comes to tuning LS1 engine and I am already thinking of buying a better intake . Still I am confused what should I choose: Street Warrior, LS6 or Typhoon intake. I really like Typhoon and Warrior. I am ordering a bunch of books to read about LS1

Cheers
Marcin
