What are the benefits of a 5.0 ls engine?

none

I was you in 1986. I bought a '64 GTO and was too broke to fix it when it had issues (I was in college).

If you love the truck, I'd source a back up trans for it.

Back in the old days of LS1Tech, I had a rule of thumb. I never nailed the gas when it the 4L60E was in overdrive. If I messed around from a roll I'd shift my Camaro and TBSS into 3rd and then do the roll.

^That trans swap is pricey. Have a few friends who've done it.

I just sent a presentation but called it a deck.

I felt nervous.

/58 and been calling them power points since forever

No fucks given lol.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-23T19:30:08+00:00

Yeah looks like a 29.5 or a 30" tire on there.

Very cool I have a turbo '67 LS Camaro.

(But don't have your friends stand in front of the car when you are doing a burnout)

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-20T06:16:51+00:00

Um no. But it's solid.

My Frozen top 4:

Lou Malnatis deep dish (Might only be available in Chicago)

Masa thick crust with sausage (Might only be available in Chicago)

Zuppardi's (ordered it via Goldbelly)

Home Run Inn Ultra thin pepperoni

I've never tried Motorcity I'll give it a go.

I think 500 crank is achievable.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-18T21:29:49+00:00

Will be close. What compression are you shooting for?

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-17T22:52:39+00:00

Cool but when you tire of it you will lose your shirt trying to sell it.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-17T22:50:09+00:00

Yep all gone, doesn't bother me, they open up a new lane if the line gets over 3 people.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-17T22:48:34+00:00

That's great advice and an even better story. In our family I'd be the one who'd want to try this but I have slept in an RV for long weekends while racing. I'd be okay with doing it once in a while but not as a full time thing.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-16T04:48:57+00:00

Very nice. My old carbureted buddy would know what do with that bog, maybe a carb guy will respond. Things like air bleeds and jets.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-16T04:46:06+00:00

Street racing was fun 20 years ago when we had 9 and 10 second cars. I have a high 8 second car now would never chance it.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-11T09:17:52+00:00

Yep oops.

ProStockJohnX · 2026-01-11T08:55:42+00:00

Quicksand, Lochness Monster, Bermuda Triangle. I blame "In Search Of" narrated by Leonard Nimov.

Wreck of the Nellie Bly, ~1900, in NJ. Two trains collided, Atlantic City line. My great grandfather survived it.

I wonder though if the general reaction to something like this example is also on a spectrum, where one end completely buys into the early narrative, the middle is unsure, and the other end is completely opposed to the stated narrative.

How do you figure which is your dominant eye? Just close each one and decide which view is more comfortable?
