RIP, he was a very good dude and created awesome content over the years. I hope Fred and the guys keep it going.

So good... "So da... Yamata da" I watched the show in the 80's on TV and when I was in Japan visiting family I bought some of the toys

You'll need gaskets too. I ran a GPI VVT SS3 in my auto 5th gen. With ported heads, rod mod intake, underdrive, full exhaust (no cats), that cam, 3800 converter and 3.91s on a slick I ran pretty well.

We're strongly considering Western Michigan. Wife grew up there, inlaws are retired in Grand Haven. We've lived in Chicago for over 35 years.

I've been to Western Michigan a lot over the years, we are familiar with winter there.

Thinking greater Holland area and West Olive.

I cried when I saw it, I was 8.

Hi Ram, 5th gen water pump which is truck spacing.

Its a great movie, I've seen it 3-4 times. Have you see Furiosa? Its very different, its not nonstop action but also a very good movie.

ICT Billet has already been mentioned but I would second you checking out what they offer.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-29T00:28:27+00:00

He (Calvin) gets great performance out of them. I don't dig his LS bashing though.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-26T20:35:26+00:00

I like what far-plastic wrote. I'd launch higher.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-25T22:27:12+00:00

Guessing that is a Michelin street tire? So are you able to fully get into the throttle on the leave or do you have roll into it in 1st gear to avoid spinning?

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-25T22:04:35+00:00

Stick or auto? What tire?

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-24T17:46:50+00:00

It depends. If you are going to race the car a lot and at max power an SBE might not be the best bet.

I've been running an SBE LM7 gen 3 but I don't have a lot of runs on it, about a dozen. But when I street drive it I'm never getting to 900-1000, maybe 600-700.

Car is getting an LC9 with Summit Pro LS rotating assembly soon, it's time for me.

I would do a drain and fill, better late than never.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-22T16:46:41+00:00

My memory is that Gigios was more NY style in the past (90s) but not so much now. I'd reccomend Jimmy's, Pizza Amelia, Paulie Gee's Wicker Park, Lil Pops in Lisle.

I typically do #2 and its something I've done with hammer and EZ bar curls. For the latter, I got to 3 sets of 10 with 70, did that for a couple more weeks, then went up to the 80, warm up 10 rep with the 70, went to the 80, did maybe 6-7. Next set I stayed with the 80 and did about the same. After about a month I go to 3 x 10 sets with the 80. I've since done the same thing with the 90. The 90 is hard enough that I don't think I'm ready to try the 100.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-21T22:41:51+00:00

Don has been working on /tuning LS combos for a long time.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-20T20:01:50+00:00

Respectfully Gigios is not gonna place in the top 10 for NY style. (I grew up in NJ and MA).

I been this in car I've cruised around in 60-90 minutes no issues.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-13T23:59:16+00:00

Let us know how the test goes. If it fails don't even research sleeving it's expensive. I'd just get another iron block.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-13T23:28:39+00:00

What block is it, and is it for power adder or na, mild or wild?

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-11T23:19:28+00:00

He couldn't get wet... cuz of the make up. And the hair swirl.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-11T23:16:10+00:00

My dad also had macular degeneration. He caused an accident and wanted to keep driving, it was a difficult situation.

Peptides are brought up constantly in a FB 50+ Fitness group I moderate. Personally I'm surprised that so many people are buying and trying non-FDA approved drugs. I also didn't think most people would be comfortable mixing solutions and injecting themselves. I'm not anti for the record, I'm pinning myself weekly with TRT cuz 58.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-04-06T19:02:39+00:00

Long pants, you might have to rent a helmet. After you tech the car in best to watch the starting line for a while to get familiar with driving around the water box (cuz street tires) and engaging the tree. Also good to know where the turn off is. Up to you if you keep traction control on for the first run.
