Welcome! Hope to meet you sometime in the spring. If your a car guy, you'll love the Indy scene.

St. Louis has been ok, but the area I live in now is full of Audis, BMWs, Benzs, and Lexuses (probably how the NE side of Indy is). It'll be nice seeing some domestic V8s.

Yeah that's it but the paint doesn't look as good now. And by not as good I mean it looks terrible (the clear coat is coming off everywhere). As far as what's in it:

Cams (equivalent of a GM hot cam)
Full exhaust
Ported intake
Geared
Bolt-ons

Minus more aggressive cams, a few suspension pieces, and tires, I've done about all I can to this N/A 4.6 without adding displacement.

Eh, there will be a BB 5.4 to 5.8 in my future. Just not the near future. We have to get on our feet first.

Yeah 5.4s are dirt cheap. The problem is the good intakes for C heads on a 5.4 cost as much as a used blower setup. Once you get that intake though those motors make some good numbers. I'm almost tempted to run stock 4V heads/cams with the 5.8 to see what numbers it makes compared to the LS1 then turn around and do a cam swap.

I'll do that with another Mach with a 4.6. I want to do a boosted black one with an orange stripe. I'll be opening up my practice in February most likely. If you guys know anyone who needs chiropractic care hit me up this winter.

I'm from Rockville. I went to school the last few years in St. Louis because it has one of the best Chiropractic schools and was closest to home. Now I'm just moving back. I chose Indy because in and near my home town doesn't have a good chiropractor to population ratio.

BTW I was in Greenwood/Whiteland/Franklin today and I saw more domestic V8s today in this horrible weather than I have seen in the past 5 months here in west county St. Louis. I got to talking to my realtor about cars and he said he has an LT4 Vette
