Hello all Ima newb

**ebrakeracin4** · 08-21-2007, 08:35 AM

I am a newb on here. Been into racing cars for over 10 years now. Never really been into v-8s or domestics. I have built a few cars. My most recent one is a 10 second civic hatchback. I am about to start a new project though. I have 2 5.3L swaps that i am going to semi build and put into something. I havent completely decided what yet. I am here for help and maybe get some questions answered. Thanks!

Maybe, but you spent 3 times the money to make it run that way

enjoy your stay, the "Search" menu item will do wonders for you but yeah, the LS1 engine is a very good, out of the factory foundation.

u would be surprised how little i spent. Includeing the car i only have around $10k into it. And that includes the $1800 certified roll cage. Plus i have almost $2500 in suspension and wheels. It really didnt cost much. I do all the work in house. The only thing i didnt do was tune it. On medium boost we made 518whp @21 psi
