I am actually planning out my next project and will be a carbed Ls based motor.

My plans are 5.3 or 6.0 haven't decided, carbed and in a 3rd gen(unless another vehicle peaks my interest more)

All i can say is that the 6 ********* that voted no to the forum are the punks that come to the track with there big stroker injected motors and get smoked down by a stock 5.3 with a cam and carb, Cant help that. Fuel inj. has its place just as a carb setup does. Heck i had $75 in the carb on my truck 25 bucks swapmeet carb and a 50 dollar kit. You cant hardly buy a TB spacer for that $$$. Im not knocking FI but why waste the money if your on a budget like most of us are now days. YOU would have to be a COMPLETE FRIGGIN TOOL!!! to vote NO on a forum to help other members.

MODS.... Where are you? Can we get some info on a forum 100+ members is enough to make it worthwild. Like was said before there are some threads on this but the are full of the "carbs are old tech" or "INJ. is better" and are in most cases a dead end. Im just here to get info and give any info i know. Heath Ramsey.

OH yeah. TTT and keep it going guys.
