Default new to the board

Hi folks

Although new to this board I think I may know one or two peeps from other boards. I have known Ellis for years.

I never came here before because I drove and LT1 but now I drive an LS6 so he said I could join

I have heard great things about this section of the bopard and I look forward to meeting y'all one day.

now i have to get my signature set up.

Many of you have heard of Shauns car The Black Blower Ram Air car I had here for a while. Dyno'd 526 RWHP at Turbo tech running out of fuel!

Shaun had done a great deal to the car since then. It is a Monster awaiting the finish line.

His LS6 Is a Caddy

Shaun is a great guy and should fit in well.

Actually the LS6 is in 2004 CTS V. NOT your grand-pappies Caddy.

ITS a VERY VERY VERY VERY long story but after the THIRD engine rebuild and the last 20 months in the garage, I'm finally hoping to get the TA on the road this Saturday.

hey Bobby. I heard you were in a C5. Good for you. I drove the caddy to Vegas to Spring Mountain Race driving school. I ran a C5 Z06 around the track for two days and then drove the Caddy for the last day. GREAT experience

I remember that car! Loud, Black, Supercharged, Convertable from North of the border. Good to see you back around. I have now added an LS2 to the striped Burb in the stable.

Welcome!!!
This place is turning into everything but ricers (thank goodness for small favors) even to the point where those of us with LT1's aren't ragged on...as much as we used to be.

Welcome and have fun!

Hey Bill.

Seems to me you OWNED me on that run



I'm a crap driver. That an all that torque on a six speed with street tires takes things tough.

Man that WS6 vert is the real deal if when you finally get it going right. I love that car! The CTS-V is ridiculously sweet as well.

Any hints what I do now?

Open it with paint then image, stretch/skew. Then change strech evenly like try 50% horizantal 50% vertical. Try like this till u get it 100*100 or somewhere below it
