virgin ls1techer here

Only been here for a few days but love the site so far. good to see a site that doesn't have a bunch of ricers b.s. in it for a change. I've been into cars as long as i can remember and I still am even though it's an expensive *** hobby..lol. I love f-bodies and wish I could start all over with mine and do what I know now to do now. Instead of buying a bunch of bolt on's like aftermarket MAF sensor and all the other pointless bolt on's. i would have saved up and gone with gears, intake, cam, and programing. But i guess you live and learn. I'm about to go with z06 cam, springs, and retainers. Also LS6 intake, back OEM M.A.F., SLP below, ported TB, and programing for my daily driver. The only complaint i have with newer f-bodies is the aftermarket horspower to $$$$ ratio. But then agian computers are involved.

when i go to town, im usually in the humble area...when i get bored, i cruze 1960 down to the willowbrook area, sometimes further....see some nice cars, but i dont see anyone racing....i dont know if there is a reason for that (cops) or if they just dont race...... Had an NSX throw me some revs a month or so ago close to willowbrook, but traffic was WAY to bad to try that.... didnt sound like he had alot done to it (maybe he had some atmosphere in a bottle who knows). Is there a "race spot" hidden away around there? if there is PM an ignorant bastard like me, and let me know what's up.
I wouldn't have minded letting that NSX beatup on my 97 *cough* *cough* "LT1" Car.
