TECH Regular
I'm not sure why those like you who seem to be at the forefront of the LT1 hobby would have any sort of disdain for others who are beginners.
I don't consider myself a beginner (I've owned and modded LTx stuff for over 10 years), but there are times I can benefit from good technical discussion or just enjoy seeing what others with the same interests are doing.
So, what gives?

We see the same guys posting in every thread degrading other setups and playing the "your car sucks" card.
90% of the threads you are involved in I see negative comments. Your not the only one. There are others.

Wrong wrong wrong. You have no clue. Trolls like you are the exact reason we don't come around anymore. I think your goal in life is to troll the forums and find threads to work your magic and **** people off. You get off on that. Its your new hobby along with keyboard racing.

No I'm pretty much correct. Your claims are filled with a bunch of over emotional garbage. The only ones I ever "troll" are the pompus asses who fully believe they should be treated as gods. Being on car forums for this long I'm pretty sure I have a good grasp of how the f-body broh food chain works.
I am relieved you were able to finally spill the beans as to why you've been absent for so long, even though I and others already knew the answer.

If you ever would show up to a shootout, you would see I don't want to be treated any different than others. Never have and never will.

As I've told other whiners who have babbled the same thing, I challenge you to back up the claims you are spewing. Ninety percent of the threads I'm involved in you say? Me **** on those asking ignorant questions? There's a search function, use it. You might be surprised at the ones who are actually being the dicks. Guaranteed you are the one who is the clueless moron. Five thousand posts in ten years? What is wrong with you? 
No, the problem lies with you whining about me stepping on the toes of some of your buddies and you considering them "everybody." It's total crap, but not surprising from one who feels us "commoners" should bow to your holiness...

Well I know , not to long ago.. I was a beginner, and having approached many of the LT1 veterans the right way... I was given alot of help. I didn't always listen, and I did make mistakes on my own... but I learned, and I like to pass that knowledge on to the newbs as well to try to save them some $$$mistakes$$$. Kinda like a knowledge PAY IT FORWARD. The trolls are a big factor as to why I spend so little time over here, and why with my short fuse I end up getting into pissing matches (I know I should know better, but I still get sucked in.) Ive been told my intake was a door stop, Ive been told my blower is to small, Ive been told I disappoint people because I would rather DD my car than drag race it....to the point a $1000 bet was made with a member here... who never showed up...... but Im happy with my build and how I use it, and I keep an open mind with other peoples builds and that we don't all see things the same way and don't all do things the same way...
If you guys want a hardcore section WE are willing to offer one, but its not about pissing matches and telling people they are doing shyt wrong, or if its not your way its the dumb way... but rather a place where those who are making some serious power, who are not your typical build can discuss issues, and even help those who want to get there... I agree.. I would never approach a EXTREME LTXer what TB I should use, or what plugs to run in my mild build... but, there is alot that these guys bring to the table.
just my 3c

Of course you're done because you know what stupid **** you are trying to claim. Again, you want to lamely carry on and splatter how I am the bad guy? Before you start in on your smear campaign I'd suggest doing some research, Senator. Last edited by SS RRR; 10-26-2012 at 05:19 PM.

I can personally vouch for this. When I went to the shootout in 2010 I was a complete noob to eveyone. I knew who Tony, Kyle, Tanner and some other ltx heavy hitters were from reading GMHTP and lurking on the internet but never thought Id be watching them race foreal. I was almost star struck for a moment when I saw Tony and Kyles cars sitting in the pits. I walked up and introduced myself to Tony (who looked very busy filling nitrous tanks) and found him to a be super nice guy. Same thing with Kyle, those guys were no different to talk to than anyone else. i think thats why I was drawn more to the ltx community, alot more hepful people and not nearly as many trolls.

Why be serious?
I would love for a solid forum for forced induction LT1 stuff, but, thats a dream. Whereas there is a million and a half cheap turbo with crappy hot side LS1 builds. So again, why be serious. Any good tech found on on the internet is bout 5 years old and the build was prob parted out long before it ran decently.
Outdated motor that people seem to be proud of making it run 10s NA, la de da

When I ran My first ten it put me in the Top ten LT1 cars. Now not so much. Fully loaded with the A/C blowing.
Funny you should mention him. He got ahold of me a while back to see what was up. Nice guy, Just got tired of the same BS the rest of us did....
So Why? You are right there is no reason at all

Real nice guys. So nice that one of them got real bent he was double bulbed at a shootout and flipped the guy off in the return lane and then talked **** about it here. I don't care how famous you are. If you are going to be that much of a baby you deserve to get called on it. That's when I stopped seeing the funky bunch post. Either that or I just stopped paying attention to them.

Uh who cares? I would say we are all hardcore LTx, we still run them. I dont know about you guys but when im out in my 97 Camaro and I see another LT1 Trans am or Camaro I get a good little ole "atta boy" feeling. I can honestly say ive never once thought "man that guy is so stupid cause hes not running as fast as I am nor have nearly the knowledge cause im so smart". To me its really very simple. If you see a thread post and you can help, go for it. If you dont want to, move on. But honestly you guys running 9's/low 10's NA on motors YOU build, how much more can you really learn? FWIW thanks to every last one of the LTx techs either this site or others that have saved me $$ and headache by helping out.....VERY much appreciated. Thank you.

Then it was one of your buddies, and I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter who it was. The fact that you want to scold me is ridiculous when petty bullshit like a double bulb finds its way to a tech forum to be bitched about.
