Default Newbie from PA

Just wanted to say hey to everyone. Some might know me as Backinblack from FSC and GMFS. I've got a 99 ecsb silverado with a 5.3 and over 100k. She's in the need for some performance love and this seems like the place to be. I look forward to picking some brains over here.

Oh yeah, I'm 23...a full time firefighter and part time bodyman.

Okay..."our Eagles"...guess you're from eastern PA?

Yeah...at the risk of sounding cocky...we did Layeth the Smacketh Down!

I always had fun with the Pittsburgh vs. Philly battles that I used to have with friends when I went to Penn State...we'd compare everything from sports teams to sandwiches to the pronounciation of the word water (its wah-ter not wood-er!).
