Minneapolis Metro Area Hey guys,
I'm hoping to find some local LS owners for information swapping and eventual meet ups at local events. Post up if you want and share where you live and what you have.
I live in Coon Rapids and I have a 1950 Chevy truck with a 5.3 on the floor next to it waiting to go in. (If any locals want to trade experience from their swap or engine build for some beer, I've got a full fridge).
Also, Anyone know a good local tuner I can get a PCM flash at?

Hit me up if you want to grab a beer sometime, I don't have a swapped car but plenty of buddies who do. Plenty of weekly car events and racing events once spring hits. I'm in Crystal, name is Adam.

Do you guys know if Carl does E85 hybrid tunes? I'm looking to convert my car to E85, but also want to be able to run 92 when E85 isn't around, and for long term storage.

Carl mite he tuned mine from the owner I bought mine from and did a great job . The guys out at TPIS surely do all the time Call Jim there they did Jacksons engine he works there last fall on E85 and got 1'092 hp out of it . Problem was the tranny could not handle it or he lost a little foot control. They are really excited with what they do with E85 Jim redid his also for E. I think he is up around 592 HP. They are working with GM Tech Magazine to help them out. They did a few articles last fall on it. Take your pick both GREAT places we're lucky in this area to have some good shops around. Hope it helps allittle. You can also check out North Star Camaro club Site.

Adam, I'll take you up one that offer to grab a beer. Crystal is really close. I'll send you a PM one of these days. Things have been pretty crazy lately. It will be cool to pick the brains of some people who know more than I do. Did you do your own engine work? I want to go through this 5.3 I have and replace every gasket and seal while checking all the wear areas to make sure I have a good motor. I'll send the heads in to get freshened up when they are off.
Nope didn't do the motor work, just got the car this fall and was already built. Starting to fix all the little issues and I took out the nitrous system that was on it. Redoing the intake and nitrous setup now. Standalone fuel system with a TPIS LS6 90mm setup I just sent off to N20 outlet to get the money maker plumbed into it. Should be fun. I'll be having Carl tune it this spring on motor then I'll be running a fully progressive setup that I'll dial in for the spray. Lots of LS knowledge in the TC area. There's a lot of 5.3 swapped turbo guys runing around here, definitely hit me up, have a great place to grab some pizza and micro brews. I can talk cars for days, I'd be more than willing to come over and turn wrenches too. Waiting for this cold stuff to break is driving me nuts.

I know what you mean. It pains me to walk into my unheated garage and see my 2012 Kawasaki Ninja just sitting on stands begging to be rode.
