Default wanted to say thanks

I got my 2000 camaro 2 weeks before i went to Iraq in 06 and the entire time i was there (15 months) all i could think about was what i wanted to do with it when i got home, so i planed everything i thought i would need and got the parts. Well as this is my first LS1 car and my first FI car i found out that i had my head up my *** and did not know ****......So as the story goes i had to spend the next 2 1/2 years trying to get it lined out and with the help of the greatest friends and family,and you guys here on LS1tech, we got it were we wanted it, but along the way i had a few hiccups, first off i had to move from Hawaii to Kentucky so i could be a recruiter for the army and then i found out i had testicular cancer which i had been fighting for the last 6 months, but found out last month that i have beaten it. So now after 3 years of trying to get to get my car right so i could go to the LSXshootout, i get to do it this year!! so i am very very happy, i hope to some of you there!

Thanks to all of my buddy that have helped me with my turd it means a lot!!

Ricky Hunt
