Default Beware:www.s10v8.com

For all you s10 builders,Beware of this sight.I posted some info on long tube headers that are now available for ls1,s and got banned.I think they banned me because it,s not in there part store.The thread i posted too was about how there,s no longtube headers available for ls1 s-10,s.This sight is not for the members in gathering technical knowledge,They want you to buy there products.All there info is bias.I was trying to pass on information i learned on this sight to help other s10 builders. Sorry about my bitching just had to vent!!

I have never liked s10v8.com site, it is mainly guys with carb'd trucks, not a lot of help with the newer technology.
Also, I think it says a lot about the people running the site when every single page of the site is a listing of their products, you have to pay to be a member, and as you mentioned, if you recommend a product that they don't sell, they will delete your post and/or ban you.
s10forum.com is a much better place for information and people who actually know what they are doing, no bias towards anyone's parts.

They both kinda suck. Not enough usable info on swaps. No one really posts. I have found more info here on the s-10 ls-1 swaps.

You cant be talking about s10forum?? I moderate the V8 and LSX section. I dont allow that crap...

I bought the currentperformance longtubes, myself. I love them, Ive got the truck apart for "winter additions". Basically Lingenfelter CNC LS3 heads, COMP LSR cam, FAST LSXR 102mm intake, CP 1 3/4" headers, 3" mandrel exhaust, TCI underdrive pulley, etc....

The thread i replied to was on options for headers for ls1 s10,s. I posted some info i just learned from a member here,and was excited to know there,s longtube options with up to 2"primaries.The few members who replied before i was banned where impressed.I like using all the forums,they all have good info ,you just have to search for it.I will never go to www>s10v8.com again and will never reccomend this site because of it,s bias info.That sight has pulled the wool over there members eye,s.

WWW>S10V8.COM <That for there Moderator i hope he reads this.I left him a link to this thread.

O.K. i,m done complaining

I don't know what section you've been looking in, but there are several moderators in the LSx forum that do not all any BS in these threads. It's all business.

I'm also a moderator on the Drivetrain section:

By far the best information for LSx based swaps in S10's of any forums.

There are dozens of high performance trucks in this section.
