Mike

That was my C.L. post a couple months back

Mike contacted me yesterday and wanted to know if my car was black and if that was my van parked across the street from his house (Understandable concern's over build Piracy and such).

After assuring him my motor is actually not an LS1 but an LS6 and that I run an ENTIRELY different brand of synthetic transmission oil than he, Mike relaxed a bit and turned out to be a pretty cool guy.

Nonsense aside- My name is Steve and I am addicted to horsepower!

I am responsible for the Craigslist ad (Trade contractor work for Fab work)

Seemed like a crazy idea but I got alot of response from running that ad only 1 week.

Here are some pics of my build

Thanks Todd, I just got it back from paint shop last month.
Waiting on motor mounts to arrive so I can finally take that LS6 out of the crate and put it where it belongs.
