Hi
I don't own a ls1 or even a v8 for that matter, but they have always interested me. Being a car guy myself, I can appreciate the sheer power the big engines can put out. I joined the forum to learn what I can, because I really don't know that much about them. All my experience has been with 4 bangers, so I'm not sure how I would be received. I wish car owners could be more like bike owners, they (most) appreciate the bike no matter who makes it or how fast it is.
Thanks for having me,
Smak

Not everyone here owns a V8 ( eventually!), so you aren't alone

You should buy/rent/obtain a complete automotive book and learn the basics of any car. I read one in my co-op class: "Modern Automotive Technology". The thing is a frickin' tome. I knew **** about cars before that. As soon as you have a good base of knowledge, build it up and refine here at ls1tech! Welcome, and remember......

There is no replacement for displacement!
