Thanks for all the help! This section has been an invaluable resource for not only learning about FI but for the LSX motors in general. This goes for all the sponsors, the guys making build threads for us all to see and even those that just simply come here to share their wisdom with us all. I cant thank you enough for it all!

Dime, i couldnt have said it better, I love coming here, i spend most of time on this board to learn things, i cant even begin to describe the amount of knowledge i have gained from simply reading threads.

Even yesterday i stumbled onto a thread from early last year and read all 100 posts or so, i couldnt take my eyes off the screen. there are many many exceptionally smart people on this board and i cant thank them enough for there time and support to those of use that are in the stages of learning.

Thanks from me as well people of ls1tech.com. i do recommend this site to as many people as i can.

I spent 8k in 1 week thanx to this section and all of the people who have proven what works...

I've been on the board since 2004 and I cannot for the life of me get off of the FI section. I do however enjoy reading about nitrous set ups, doesn't make since to keep filling up those bottles for the power you SHOULD have all the time

I too would like to thank all those that have helped me over the years in both this section and the others that I have worked my way thru. It's because of this help that I feel compelled to do these build threads and give back a little.

I wish I never found this site. Between my junk and Mark Koehler's drag radial car I'm 100k+ lighter in the wallet. I know a lot more about cars though.
