Default New guy with LT1 from KY

Hello there! My name is Charlie and I am from Louisville,KY. I heard about this site from a few of my buddies around town and thought I would check it out. I love what I see so far. My current project is a '97 Z28 with an forged APE 355, trickflow heads, 8.5:1 compression engine that should soon have a GT47 80mm hanging off of it. I am 99% finished with the motor and it should be in the car this weekend. Then after I save for a bit and scrape together the parts for the kit, I will have custom manifolds made. Shooting for as close to 1000rwhp as I can get. We'll see what happens.
Well thats my hello.

Sounds like a bad *** ride you are working on Charlie.

I do have pics of the engine going together and the car in its rough stage, I wil have to get a friend to host them for me. I haven't started the rest of the car yet I a just trying to get the engine and turbo in there and see if i can make it for the rest of the summer/fall without breaking anything serious. Then in the winter I will get the car into better shape to handle the power.

Welcome Charlie. I am also from Louisville. Sounds like a mean car. I'd like to check it out sometime. Do you ever go to Ohio Valley?
