Default Trucks allowed?

Sadly I do not own an f-body or even a car for that matter. Currently I am in a 1999 ECSB 1500 Silverado on a 2” rear end drop.

This truck is getting powered by an engine I built last year; LQ4 with 862 heads and a small 212/218 TXSpeed camshaft. 3.73 gears and a posi for the rear end. I’m looking to do some more building and yall have a ton of info on this site that deserves more diving into.

Doesn't matter. If it's LS powered, you're all good.
Also, there's a sister site called performancetrucks.net. Your username and p/w should be the same there as here. If you're logged in here and go to that site, you will most likely be automatically logged in there. Except it's not as busy as here. Not too many newer guys on here know about that site.

Unfortunately when they officially split the Sites into 2 separate data basses a few years back, That no longer applies to new users.

The sites are now separate and when you sign up as a new user on one site it no longer carries over. If the user name is available you can use it on both sites.

As a results of the split, Some accounts such as mine are still messed up.

these guys here are ruthless killers especially if you dig up a 8 year old thread!
If you don't use the "search" function you'll be shamed and surely laughed at.
I've actually read a cuss word or two... it's shocking

Me on my nitrous first hits?

If so over at the truck forum one of the guys that's really experienced running nitrous posted it's nothing to worry about. Said he has that same poppng through the exhaust on decel after running 70+ bottles with no issues. Said to keep an eye on the plugs and a/f and enjoy. He's doing a 300 shot so I'm going to take his advice.
