Alright the TC affair is what I call the intangible theory, if you think I'm wrong, you can go to hell. What it is, can be referred to as a difference of opinion, or alternatively a subjective estimate. Even so the incredible fact of the matter remains there is nothing more simple, common, and logistically sound than applying all tc properties to increase performance....but only to the point of diminishing returns. In other words what works for some people won't work for others and besides trial and error there is absolutely no way to find out other than talking to the people who have done it themselves. Hence, take a hike my friend and don't forget to remember to bring your parka and questions with you.

A guy at my local shop told me that I shouldn't put LT's on my ls1 when I get it because I won't see any gains with them. That I would be better off with the stockers. Mad love for this site
