Default Hello all

Hey guys

just wanted to say hi to eveyone here and in the ls1 community.

im trading in my 96 eclipse gsx for a friends modded 01 SS camaro.
im planning to put an STS turbo system on the camaro and shoot for around 450 to 500 RWHP.

My car history
ive had 2 supras, both mk3's my first was a 1986.5 (NA) 5 speed.
then i got a 96 eclipse turbo awd, had it for a few years and desided to buy another mk3 supra.
now i have the 88 turbo targa 5speed that im slowly modding. im doing alot of custom body work on it. it will be my DD once its finished. only plan for 350-400 RWHP
if all goes as planned in 2 or 3 weeks i will have a 01 camaro ss.
the SS has a few mods, it should get me started off in the right direction.
im hooked on turbos... sense the first day i started modding my turbo eclipse. more than likely every car i own from now on will be boosted

i look foward to talking with you guys
take care
chris
