Wink Hot Peach from Georgia

Just wanted to say Hello from the Peach state. Tired of the same old same old on the corvette forums so I thought I would give the LS1 folks a twirl. Look forward to some knowledgeable discussions on many different subjects. Just call me Matt.

Still learning; Just put it in my sig. Course that was about 500 miles after install. I expect it is more in the 550 range now after some small alterations and over 6000 miles but its all naturally aspirated.

Very nice. 550 rwhp is definitely easy to hit. I am sure Jayson, David & Crew over at Motorsport hooked you up

Just one Kidney

I traded in a low milage head/cam 346 so I got a nice break. I would say in the high mid teens. It's a daily driver so I had everything bullet proofed (forged). Your price may vary.
