Just joined. New here, not the game. Been on LS1tech for nearly 20yrs. 3rdgen for 15+yrs. Corvette forum for a few yrs. And now joining forums for my trucks. I've owned both my modded Camaro's since sr yr hs (2002-03). My 02 SLP Camaro ismy garage queen. My moat cherished car of all. I bought my 1st GM truck in 2007, my 88 GMC K1500 SM465. Fell in love with her. She sports a 350 ho crate motor (330hp/380tq) since early 2013. Barely have broken in that crate motor with maybe 3k miles. But will put a 2000 poopstang 4.6 to shame with running just 33x12.5x15 Mud Rovers. Thinking about doing hydraulic roller cam in near future as I have a nib ZZ4 cam just sitting on the shelf. I got my 98 WS6 in 2010 when I got stationed at MCB Pendleton. Built it to be quick amd reliable. So swapped all the parts on my WS6 that made the C5Z a Z06 vs the base C5. Tho no longer GM LS6 cam and I ported the 243s. When I eas'd from the Marines and got back home in Jan 2014, following year I bought my 04 Tahoe (aka my '04 Hoe'). Building a mild version of the LS364 crate motor (mild truck cam with ported 823s with LS3 intake valves etc). Mild as its the only vehicle of 7 that is as close to 'normal' and 'comfortable' lol SMH.
The last acquired toys I picked up are my 81 and 86 Corvette about 2yrs ago. After I finish the LS swap (another "my version" of the LS364 crate, but punching out LQ9 to fit stock LS3 pistons) in my 85z28-iroc, then will start LS swapping my 81 or 86 Corvette. Having an LS/t56 swapped 81 Vette has been my dream car/build since I was 18 (2003).
All my GM's are fairly modded. Both my 4th gens are t56. From Brembo swapped front calipers to h/c/i etc.. My 04 Hoe has the 2019+ 4 piston Akebono front calipers as well. Besides being a master tech, I've done everything from your basic bolt-ons to dyno tuning. Everything but auto body work. Only can cut & buff besides replacing panels.
Anywhoz... I hope to meet some ppl in my area and maybe learn a few new things about my 88 K1500.
Thanks
