Default new to ls

Hey I am from Tuttle Oklahoma. I am building a s10 with a turbo 4.8. First time to work on a ls motor or a turbo. I love to wrench and have built hotrods since the late 70s. I hope to buy some parts on ls1tech and love all the tech info. Thank you Tommy Martin

Thanks I found a triple twelve camshaft on craigslist and a circle d torque converter on here. My biggest concern will be tuning, but there seems to be a lot of information on this website. Tommy

Lot of people trying HP Tuner system. I don't know about anything on tuning but I know enough to find a reputable shop to do it on a dyno. That's probably best way to get things rite. Lt1Swap.com Brendan did mine by mail. Asks a lot of questions on what your running to get as close he can. But then again mine is just stock in my old skylark
