Congrat's on the new ride, & welcome a'board'
Also check out the LS1.com forum for additional NE hoodlums, ...
And gmmodernmuscle.com for a lot of eastern'ers.
Headed to McCook on Wednesday to see some people at the mfg sites.
Huh, ..., Hayes Center, ..., if that ain't in the middle of no-where, ..., nothing is.

Ya I live about 16 miles from Hayes Center, its 16 miles in all directions to a highway, I have yet to find someone here (my college) that lives in a more rural area. With that, were not allowed to have a car out here until junior year (im a sophomore) so i cant have a car here til may, not enough parking room. So im taking it home and its going to stay there til may. But would it be a really bad idea to even take it on gravel roads, or if i go slow, like 30, will it be fine?

Welcome to the Nebraska hangout.
I know of Hayes Center, I was envious of it every morning when I was in school. 9/10 times if there was any, even small bad weather you would know the 1 school that wouldn't be in session that day, so I grew to hate the radio real fast in the winter

Another Nebraska guy here. Just joined the forum today, usually on gmmodernmuscle. Here are a few pics of my rides:
66 Impala
And my 70 Nova still in progress
I also specialize in cylinder heads and manifolds if anyone needs work done in the future. Been in business almost 8 years now and the 60 foot sponsor down at MAM.

Thanks! Here are some pics of some of the power plants for them.
Impala motor was a SBC 427 now has a 406 around 575hp.
Big Inch SBC 14 degree heads - work in progress.
Also in the process of building a SB2.2 headed motor but don't have any pics yet.

.Dude that is so true, but have you ever driven Hayes County roads, there is only one highway that runs North to South, the slightest amount of rain destroys the roads. Its really pathetic how terrible the roads are.

well i got the driveshaft finally... made a quick little clip, although it seems slow in the video hahaha... last dyno i made 528hp with a slipping trans/stall and 14psi.... now i have the th400 and a good stall and am running 17psi... probably in the 630-650 range now. full weight with a bunch of extra weight of oil, tools, parts and stuff in the car at 4200ft elevation... not to bad, check it out:

not to bad... i think the stock 4l60e and stall were the problem with the "power loss" above 5500rpm... seems to pull past 5500rpm fine now..
i will get a better video soon...

Yes, I do. Here is my section over at GMMM: http://www.gmmodernmuscle.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=18
These are a few projects that I have been allowed to share. There is a fair amount of work I do that I'm not allowed to post.
I'm in the process of being a Profiler cylinder head WD. Let me know if you need some work done.
