Default NOOB on board

Hi, my name is Jason, I am the owner/administrator of **NON-SPONSOR LINK REMOVED** It is a website like this one but geared towards stuff like dirtbikes, quads, street bikes, ect...

I have a 2003 Silverado, nothing fancy, flowmaster exhaust, tinted windows, rims, and the rear is now down 2". I'll be lurking around here looking for ideas and how to's and hopefully I'll be able to share some of my knowledge with you guys. I've been working on cars since I was old enough to hold a wrench.

I want to make my truck resemble the Silverado SS with the color matched front clip and roll pan, either a ram air or cowl hood, and probably a supercharger to top it off. I like stuff blacked out, I'm getting my wheels powdercoated right now. I've got a million different ideas but as you all know, it all depends on the money.

I've thought about it, but I am scared of NOS!! And for no good reason either. Honestly, I'm a turbo guy, but again, money has everything to do with it.

Baahahhhh....nitrous runs out, and you have to heat the bottle, and turn it on, and get it ready, and purge it, and blah blah blah. FI never runs out, and is always ready to rip

Welcome to the board NOOB! Glad you found your way over here!

Welcome Jason! What kind of superchargers are you looking at?

I had to remove your non-sponsor link to that site. Please use PMs when linking other sites other than our sponsors. Thanks.
