Default Popular Hot Rodding Needs Tech Help...

A lot of you guys know we do a lot of LS1 tech in Popular Hot Rodding, so I'd like to test the waters here to see what you'll say.

We are looking for a new staff writer for Popular Hot Rodding. This is a salary position with benefits that requires being in California (where the weather is always perfect year round).

If you have writing chops and know your stuff around an LS1, we can teach you the rest (like the photography). Prior writing experience is helpful, but not a requirement.

To those of you who have complained of magazine coverage in the past, now is your chance to make a difference. If you're interested and have questions about the job, please post here and email me at john.hunkins@primedia.com. As you know, the LS1/LS2 is the small-block Chevy of the future, so that's what makes you guys so important in this quest for a new staff member!

Thanks,

Johnny Hunkins
editor, Popular Hot Rodding

You guys really need to do some "how-to" on LSx computer tuning with HP Tuners and Edit software. Just think about how many readers you could get. And how many issues you could drag it out for! Thanks to HP Tuners, you can count on that type of information applying to just about every vehicle GM makes. I would love to spread my knowledge (or lack thereof), but my current occupation excellent. It would be nice for you guys to find somebody who can give us the info we want. Or at the very least listen to us, and what we want.

I wish I didn't already have a job thats sounds like a good job for me. If you have an opening in 2-3 years let me know I'll have finished the ASEP program by then and will know these babies inside out.

I know more about the LS1 than whats covered in your magazines. Unfortunately, there are alot more qualified people on here. I'd transfer in a heartbeat to California.

I got married and decided I needed a truck, I want to get into real estate investing on the side thus the need for a truck. Also the engine was capable of whatever you thow at it, my plan was 20+psi of boost but the drivetrain wasn't up to par and I didn't want to fork out another $7k for drivetrain to handle the stress and then still toss the dice for luck everytime I step on it and prey that nothing breaks. Kind of sucks but I'm sure I'll have another one someday soon....I still have the turbo...I could put it on the Lightning in conjuction with the SC to make power where the roots SC fails to make power hmmmmmm lol
