Default Whats up LS1Tech?

New guy here! I migrated over from SVTPerformance, but I come in peace.

I'm a college student and I LOVE cars. I'm very open minded, make or country of origin doesn't matter to me as long as it hauls ***.

I've always loved T/As and I've recently decided that an LS1 F-body is definitely in my future (insurance is much cheaper than a Mustang GT for some reason, and LS1s eat them for breakfast ). I've decided to join LS1Tech so I can learn as much as I can. I wanna know what to look for when the time comes to start shopping around, and I've heard that this is the best source.

I post on several other forums but I'll probably start hanging around here a lot. See you around!

You picked a great car/engine to be enthusiastic about. However LS1's can and do get beat so pick your mods wisely and you won't be disappointed.

Thanks again everyone! Just for some perspective, I currently drive a '98 Sonoma (2.2L 5-speed) so an LS1 would be a pretty big upgrade for me
