Default New to the site, Im happy to join you.

A little about me. I am such a car fanatic. I like everyting from old school muscle to new age FI. I own a big singled Supra, supercharged LT1 Firebird, and Nissan 350Z, and have a few others that have come and gone. I am here to learn more about the LS1, since my girlfriend is going to be getting a Vette soon. I have always wanted one, so this will work perfect. I dont have to pay but I do get to play, ahahah.

Welcome. This is the best LS1 site in the world.

May want to take a look at these web pages: www.ls1howto.com and www.installuniversity.com

When you're ready to ask questions about first time mods like cold air induction, oil, cat back exhaust, headers, or CAMS, remember that these topics have been gone over on this board like 2000 times, so you might want to do a search before asking your first few questions. Luciliy for me, I read on this site for over a year before I became a member, so I had no real newb questions.

What year was the supercharged Firebird? I see in your sig a 2000 supercharged Trans Am, but they started putting LS1s in them in 98...

Sorry I just post it like that cause I changed the whole body style. Its really an LT1 but the cars body is converted into a 98+. I changed my sig a bit . Thanks for all the welcomes.

Here are a few pics. I know everybody will hate the wheels, but I bought them a long time ago when dubs were cool, lol. Also I am interested in parting out the system and wheels. I need to sell the car.

Your cars are bad ***. But, don't take this the wrong way; What the hell made you want those wheels on the Trans AM?!?

Like I said this was a while back and all the people in my town were talking smack saying there were going to get 20's. I just wanted to beat them to it, now I go back there and everybody has them which made them gay, oh well. If I would do it again I would get some CCW's. Thats what I want for my Supra. SP500s=love

The car dynoed

Those cars look pretty nasty. I see that you really like wheels and I myself have fallen in love with big wheels on my cars. Nothing too crazy but it makes them look so good. Once again awsome cars and love the Z here's mine!

couldn't agree more with you on that. I originally wanted a black one but with this color it looks clean all the time which is hard to do with a black car. You can kinda see it in that picture too but I just put on that Stillen spoiler like last week or so and I love the way it looks on the car. I think yours would look great with that too especially with the wheel package you've put on it.......... Anyway back to LS1 talk sorry guys! LOL

Ahhhh.......so you're the one on 350zmotoring.com who wrote hit a large dog today?? That sucks i'm sorry to hear that. I kinda craked mine too because one of these buses flung up a piece of metal and hit me right on the lip. It didn't crack it but it still left its mark that pisses me off!
