Default New guy in Phoenix, AZ.

While not entirely new to the LSx-powered autos, I am new to the LSx F-bodies. Awhile ago I had an '06 GTO A4. Most recently I had an '07 Silverado w/ a 5.3. I've built a few Mustangs in the past and I must say, I should've switched sides long ago.

I just picked up a '99 Z28, M6, T-tops car w/ bolt-ons yesterday. Has 99k miles on it, but is VERY clean and runs remarkably for the mileage. I'd post pics, but I'm sick right now. I already ordered a TSP camshaft package that will be here in a couple days and some other stuff. I plan on having a blast driving this car and am glad to be a part of the LSx community now!

I had ordered the TSP Torquer V2, but canceled the order today. Need to save my money as I was just laid off.

Those LS2s run good! The car is Pewter. No worries on you being color blind as the picture quality sucks being that I took the pics at night.

Thanks for offering the help on the cam swap!

Nice ride! If you get some extra cash I've got a set of brand new UMI 3 point SFC's for sale. What side of town do you live on? Need to take that out to some shows.
