Well, thats' the thing. I couldn't decide whether to put it in the "gen III tech section", cause of the statement of the heads being "maxed out", the "racers lounge", for the bullshit that it contains, or here, in "general lsx discussion", for whatever other reasons

LMAO! Well, he is a really good guy, and actually knows quite a bit about some things, just not this. You'll get a chance to meet the dude AND his car if you make it to the cruise in

I think the best thing is to just smile and nod. Pick out and keep the real bits of knowledge and truth the guy might occasionally spit out and discard the rest. But always be friendly and respectful. You never know when you may need a friend, full of **** or not.

Unfortunately there are those in the LS1 gang as well. A few weeks back I was talking to a fellow LS1 local. He was looking over my prochargerd vette and asked what it put out. I told him roughly 600hp at the wheels.

He's like "Oh thats it? That would only be a bit faster than mine then."
So I ask" What is yours putting down?"
He says "Over 400"
I said "Nice, Heads and cam car?"
He says "Not yet, just Borla exhaust"


Rather than try to correct him, I offered to go out and run him a bit so we could compare He declined......

It never fails..You tell some random knuckle head at a car meet/gas station/whatever an honest answer in regard to your HP & they will tell you A) I used to have/have a car back home that makes at least 100 more..B)Their cousin/brother/uncle/dad/buddy has at least 100 more than you,as well.
