Default New from Chicago.

Hey guys!

New guy here from the Chicago area. Just picked up a 2011 CTSV last week. This is my first LS based car and I'm excited to start a new platform. I've been doing my best to learn everything possible by joining any knowledgeable communities I can.

Up until now, I have only built and tuned imports. Turbo 4 cylinders, more specifically. Started wrenching on cars around 2001-2002 in high school and it has spiraled out of control since.

My most recent build was a 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution IX. Just a tad under 500 awhp in its most recent road race set up. Although it did have near 675 at one point on a much larger, less streetable turbo set up.

I'm sure I'll see you guys around!

Anyways, here she is.

Thanks bud! I'm already starting a list of parts I'm about to order. I don't think I've ever had a car where I haven't started throwing parts on it before I received the title in the mail haha!

Definitely. I'll be honest, I was researching stuff to pick up before I even had the car.
