Default Hey Bzdel

Check this months Hot Rod magazine. They are claiming the first LS1 with 400 hp on a naturally aspirated motor. Would you like to challenge their claim? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'll have to check it out and bitch slap them since I wrote them a long time ago to see if they'd be interested in doing a spread on my swap and they refused to even acknowledge me with a reply!

You know as near as I can tell these car mags don't give a damn about what people actually build. They only care about what advertiser products that they can pimp out while doing an article. Have you ever noticed rather than using their heads to come up with a workable solution to a problem they always seem to find the most expensive vendor solution?

Total BS IMHO. And you know what it doesn't matter one little bit because almost everyone uses the internet now at the expense of print publications. And when you do a search for "LS1 Conversion" your project pops up at the top of any search. So if it's any consolation (and it should be) anyone that is doing one of these conversions has already read all about your project in a level of detail that no 4 page glossy could possibly hope cover. You did an end run around them.

****'em.
