I knew about this swap.. that's why I specified "LS1"... I did not know about Joey's forged motor... No wonder Shannon is worried about blowing his up... Is the forged motor before or after nitrous in Joey's car???

Highlander wanted a "stealthy" yet relaible nitrous system. We installed a basic wet kit with hidden switces and tried to blend the system in to make it as unobivious as possible.

Vvvroom My motor was hurt before the nitrous install, so I jus ran it additionally hard for 1.5yrs with nitrous before it finally gave in

Well not all of us are in KC... some are far, far away... Of course, maybe it's presumptuous of me to think I'm one of the "cool" ones??

We do like to get together though, OH YEAH!!
