Default Just another NooB........kind of.

Well....I have been registerd with LS1-Tech for a while.....but I don't post much at all.

I recently bought a 06 GMC Reg. Cab with a 4.8, and so far I am in love with the MPG it seems to be getting.

This is my new DD and it will do some mild towing as well.

So heres a list of the toys:

96 Formula-Retired DD-LT1,A4, I bought it new and it has remained stock......but now I have a new truck sooooooooo........let the fun begin.

89 S-10 Blazer...... http://youtube.com/watch?v=DdxAzQjNuGU
and I drive it to work ........some times.

07 Grand Prix---wifes ride
06 GMC new to me

Look forward to meeting you guys/gals.

Lee

I haven't had a chance to figure it yet.....but I have 250 miles on a 1/2 tank of junk gas.

If I was still driving my Formula....I would've had to start looking for a gas station with 91!

And thanks for the welcomes.

Thanks guys.

That was a 355 sbc, 11:1cr, 236/242 on a 110 lsa s.r., RHS 200 cc Alum. heads, TCI TH350 w/TCI 3500 stall, 9" Ford w/3.70's and a Zex Plate kit set on 150.
A Victor Jr. intake and a 750 Demon up top.

That was a 1.45 60'.......On the next run, we backed the nitrous actvation point up from 2800 to 3200....it pulled a 1.40 60' and went 10.53.

The motor is out right now......it had a stock cast crank in it....it will have an Eagle 4340 stock stroke crank and I am haveing the heads touched.

I also have a bigger cam for it too.
Looking for a 9.

Moving the nitrous come on from 2800 to 3200 dropped your 60'? is that backwards?
