Default Exotruck signing on

Hey guys. Forum guy here looking to look around, learn some things. I'm new to LS but not to engines and tuning. Decided to build the current chassis base on easy to find S550 Mustang suspension parts and powered by an LS. My intro to V8's is an L33. Its down to the long block so I've been hunting for lo profile intakes and a 302-3 oil pan. I checked ring gap at .030 so its mild boost ready. I'm looking to learn some simple stuff like ECU options, Transmission options, events and other things. So far Ive learned about LS7 lifters, LS9 head gaskets but need so much more..

.030 ring gap, you can handle alot more than mild boost lol. Cool looking stance and exo-styling!

Default ECU and Turbo

Hi TT, I make the ECU-882C for use on LS engines.
