It's supposed to be colder than a witch's tit tonight and tomorrow night (38 or 39 degrees) you better hope there's plenty of sticky stuff for those tires!!! They won't bite worth a damn on a cold track.

Yep!......... I've gone with the FAST 92mm throttle body with the LS3 intake and 42 Lb. injectors, so I don't need the LS1 intake anymore. Let's see if I remember........... you were going to give me $800 for it right???

Just trying to get it where it will get out of it's own way!
It will be a larger........Lid, MAF, TB, Intake, Heads, Cam, Headers, Ypipe into a magnaflow catback, all bolted to a LQ9 block. I'm hoping that it will be a few more horses than a stock LS1. We'll see what happens!
