Hey guys I am from Wichita KS. I have a 98' Z28 with a flowmaster that I went half with my dad on. I am so glad i got my hands on an LS1. We have a lot of plans for it with the majors being heads/cam. But first it needs tires and a lot of maintenance.

so Ill be buggin you guys a lot this next month because i have no clue where to start for heads/cam... I love the sound.

Newbies dont fare too well on Wichita racing if you make dumb posts or act like you know what your talking about. Otherwise most of the guys are cool on there once you get to know them.
