Merry Christmas to all the freaks that call gen III internal their home.
Love this particular forum !!!!
So has anybody gotten themselves a special LS gift this holiday season ??
And how exactly do you schmooze it past the Mrs. ???
I took advantage of the TSP camshaft special about ten days ago and it showed up yesterday. Pretty stoked about that for sure.
Told the sweetie that it was three hundred ( not 350 ) and that the car needed it to which she replied " bullshit !!"
For the record I took Martin's stg 1 LS2 V2 and shortened the intake duration by three as well as added one degree of LS. We'll see if it works.
So fire away folks......
