Default New guy from PA

Hello LS1Tech

My name is Tony. Im from the Pittsburgh area. Been into cars/bikes since I can remember. Im currently working at a Chevy dealer. Besides being the basic technician I do the installs of aftermarket performance parts on F-Body and Corvettes. I worked at a couple performance shops in my time but went the dealer route for benefits and higher pay. Just so happen they also did performance work so I take care of that end to.

I attended this years LSX Shootout and had an awesome time.

I currently drive an 2000 Silverado w/ 5.3. Nothing crazy done to it just Pacesetter Longtubes and ORY Pipe, Fram Boost CAI and HPTuners.

Might be picking up a project vehicle shortly. a 95 Black Hardtop Camaro. I have a 6.0 block just sitting in the garage waiting for a good home .

well thats about all I can think to write at this time haha.

hey welcome.

i too work at a dealership and know exactly what youre talking about. i worked at a few independents before and nothing beats dealership.

thats actually surprising to hear you guys do performance installs too. thats probably the perfect job, doing your hobby with dealership perks.

Any of you Pittsburgh peeps know of anyone that installs gears for a good price? I don't have the patience to set them up myself...
