Default Finally joined!

Hello ls1tech world! I have finally caved in and joined this amazing forum. I have spent the past 3 years solving problems thanks to you guys and your amazing info and reckoned it was time to join. I know my vehicle isn’t a Camaro or T/A but there is no doubt y’all will be able to help me out. I’ve been building/racing/breaking and repeating on my 1999 Silverado 1500 RCSB. The truck has been transforming ever since acquiring her about 3 years ago. It is currently a SBE turbo 4.8 and is an absolute joy to thrash! I look forward conversing with you all and appreciate any help I will surely need haha

HAHA better late than never! I appreciate the compliment Che70velle. I finally corralled all the parts to repair/upgrade the 60e which obviously broke haha but before that on 14lbs the truck made 630/520 to the tire with the 22" wheels. Im hoping to make 700 and that would probably make me a happy camper for a while anyways lol. It is a pretty simple setup. SBE. Brian tooley Stage 1 Turbo cam, BTR spring and trunnion upgrade on a set of hand blended 243's. ID1000cc injectors dual walbro 450's on e85 and precison 72/76 to dry my hair.

Ft Lauderdale FL. I was reading about a local tuner to retune my trans but he seems to have closed up shop. The truck has been tuned by Jeremy Formato from fasterproms and has been 100% onpoint, however he is about 4 hours away and loaded with work since the launch of his youtube channel.

Gotcha. A good tranny cooler will be a huge help for that 60’. They don’t like rpm or heat.
Was/is Jeremy in the Charleston area?
