GMHTP is probably your best bet right now. Year One would be a catalog for parts. Buy magazines for the pictures and come here for the tech....

i dont see the point of magazines considering there not up to date. with this site you get all the up to the minute as it happens results and info, not 4 months from now. i got a GMHTP subscription as a christmas present last year, didnt see anything worthwhile to make me renew.

It really seems to me that the old school hot-rodder's are about the magazines and the new guys are about the internet. This is based fact that I can't find a single message board set up for discussing and building sbc's pre-PCM control, and this site just rocks for LS1, and general, technical information. Not too mention there are many more similar sites for new cars / trucks.

Yep... i'm at work right now Some of us get to sit online because our jobs are so boring there isn't anything better to do. I'd rather have a busy 9-5 M-F job instead of what i'm doing now.

I still like opening the mailbox and seeing the GMHTP in there every other month. Canadian Z is right about Camaro Performers as well.
