Snowy day in Illinois ends up with a great start here on the LS1 Tech
Hello from the frozen state of Illinois,more directly from a little town outside of Peoria. That town is North Pekin with a population of 2500,Salute!!! Name is Derrek and along with my Father we own and operate a Hotrod shop and use modern drivetrains in our builds. I love the LS platform as I am sure everybody here on this forum does. I am currently playing with a LS1 into a 1998 Jaguar xk8. I bought this car over the summer in 2013 and we enjoyed it up until Jan 2014 when it decided it didnt like the #1 rod bearing anymore,so rather than rebuild the 4.0 v8,Its LS time. I was looking fora GTO oil pab as the jag is a front sump pan and a google search led me here and now I am addicted and have spent most of the day reading the pages here. We have done a lot of weird installs like a Ford triton V10 in a 1932 Ford roadster with all the fuel injection and electronics a Winnebago with a LT1/4l80e that currently sees about 17mpg at 65mph a VW with a rotary and subarus, a 33 Ford sedan with a LS2 and Dads new toy a Jeep with a twin turbo 4.6 ford cobra engine. so we are not a one marque band here as we seem to be all over the board with car builds. I guess we just like motor oil and Horsepower

Welcome neighbor! I am about 30 miles east of you in the country over by Danvers!
Whats the name of the shop? Do you have the ability to "tune" LS motors?
