Default Just Checkin in

Just found this site,i'm new to the performance game.A friend brought me to the track with him and now I'm hooked.I have a Maroon 99 Silverado LS ECSB w/5.3. I added Gibson shorty headers,Granatelli MAS, K&N Air intake and E3 spark plugs.It ran low 16's.I would like to get as much tech info on this engine as is possible.
