Default Hi All!

How's it going guys? Just thought I would say hi and initiate my first post! I know most of you are F-body and Vette guys but I have a 03 Silverado SS and I'm also a member on SilveradoSS.com. I've been doing a lot of research on looking into tuning my ride and I'm not quite sure which direction I want to go. Preferably, I would like to have someone local do it for me and I heard that Ellis is the man! Just wondering if he's had experience with LQ9's/Silverado's? Pretty similar to what you guys have so I would think it wouldn't be too hard. Oh yeah, I also got a whipple on my ride. Any advice on tuning would be great! It's nice to be a member here. Everyone seems pretty down to earth and I've found it pretty informative so far. Take it eazy.

Chris

Welcome Chris. Interesting screen name.

Yes, Ellis would be who I would go to. He may not be able to play a piano, but he can tunafish......sorry, 80s flashback. I have an LQ9 block in my car (albeit stroked with a blower) and he'll be tuning mine. It's just a different cyl volume by tuning standards. Other than that it's pretty much the same as an LS1.

Welcome.........and I agree that we need more women on the board! My wife hijacked my screen name the other night. I told her to make her own!

She is mainly a VW girl, however when she created a screen name on one of there sites, she was scared away by masses of guys talking and posting pics of girls breast!

Rott, why are you trying to figure out women?? That's a exercise in futility.

Maybe it's a women's gang thang.

Default Sorry not a girl

Sorry- I'm sure you guys got all excited! No, my screen name goes back to a few related things. One of them being my last name- FOX. The other is my dogs name FOXY- A miniature dachsund (FOXY the DOXIE) and my old dog was named ROXY. Also, my floormats in my SS say "Foxy's SS" because my dog likes to go everywhere with me. Plus my truck is just plain FOXY!
