A few more details on Brian.... He is a SAM graduate and has a great understanding of the LS platform. Great asset to the Circle D team, very well versed in our product line and has a great understanding of the torque converter. He understands our philosophy of delivering great products and great service. I think he will be a great benefit for the Tech community. On a side note - he has a very nice Bird we recently did a 4L80 swap on. I will let him go more into detail there.

Chris

Welcome aboard Brian. Why dont you tell us a little about yourself? Age, maybe part time jobs and maybe how you got into this hobby?
Keep your nose clean and your head up, treat people with respect and you will do good. Enjoy your job. I will likely talk with you soon as i will be in need of a converter soon.

Someone looking for a date?

Seriously, welcome aboard. We have always appreciated Chris' exceptional responsiveness to questions here and hope you will be able to do the same.
Heck, I recall sending Chris a PM around midnight and having an answer by 9AM when I got up; I will expect the same from you.

The swap was well over a year ago so all the m6 stuff is gone

And a little more about me... I'm 21 years old. I graduated high school early and went off to college. I found myself skipping school to work on my trans am. I got smart and decided to pursue my passion of cars, so I attended the school of automotive machinists. During that time I worked part time here at Circle D Specialties and have never looked back. I am now going on 2 years and loving it. I've been a member on tech for 7 years, so I know the ropes.

I work in the shop 99% of the time so forgive me if my responses aren't as fast as Chris'
