Default Hi, from Texas

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Javy (pronounced with an H because I am Mexican). I really love cars. I own a 97 Trans Am WS-6, really close to stock except for a couple bolt ons. I also own a 68 Firebird 400, and a 65 Impala SS. The Impala is almost completely stock, and the Firebird is getting closer and closer to a pro touring car. I have done alot to the 400 that is in it.

I got alot of plans for the WS6, but I am waiting to blow the engine or just wear it out. I want to convert it to a LT4 and stroke it to a 383, headers and electric cut out, maybe a msd 6al, mod the suspension, better brakes, put a 12 bolt in it, tubular K member and control arms, and subframe connectors.

I was looking for some info and came across this forum and after reading a couple threads I was delighted to find people that actually know what they are talking about and not the kiddos claiming to have 550 horses in a 02 SS. So my hat is off to you guys for having one of the best GM performance forums on the net.

Here are some photos of my cars

Welcome from Corpus Christi. I second the bad@$$ plate on the slick LT1. I have a buddy down the street with a LT4, pretty fun.

Well actually I photoshopped the plate in the picture, I dont want my real plates floating around the net. I am living in Corpus Christi right now actually. I am originally from Odessa though. Going to Texas A&M kingsville down here.
