Default Who's been in GMHTP?

I really love the magazine (GM High Tech Performance) and I have seen just a small amount of guys that mention an article or whatever.

But I got to think with all the bad *** late model GMs on this site, that quite a few people have been in it.

Let me know what issue you were in and what section. I don't care if it was a cover story, featured article, or the hometown section at the back, just post it up. I think it's pretty cool, and maybe someday I'll send 'em a pick for the hometown section.

Cool

Some time in early/mid 2005 my Z28 was in there twice in a row actually, once it was an unexpected surprise in the back pages (rear quarter shot on the dyno) for a small write up on the new at the time Brisk spark plugs.
And the very next issue was the one that I knew was coming...an install/dyno article on QTP long tube headers, QTP Y-pipe and QTP electronic cut out (all of which are still on the car now and doing awesome by the way ).
It was small but I was still honored to finally have a car of mine featured at least a tiny bit in a magazine that I'd not only been reading regularly since 1998 but that actually helped influence me to even buy this mighty LS1 F-body in the first place.

Mine was supposed to be in there for a tech article but not sure if it ever made it.

My 05 GMC duramax dually was supposed to be in one of the magazines for an NOS tech article, but not sure if it was ever printed either.

But I do know for a fact that my dyno shop was listed in a tech article in Chevy High, and my banner was on the windshield of a car on PINKS.

From writing Rick Jenson (the editor), it seems it takes quite a bit these days to make the magazine, let alone the cover.

None the less, I will be joining the long list of people to try anyway. My odds are even worse as I will be submitting my old 95 LT1 car. The only thing I have working for me, is that my car is more heavily modded than most that make the magazine cover (with the exception of the drag cars). I am hoping that the $65,000+ I have invested over the years will help my chances.
