    Newbie, hope to learn from the experienced

    Hey fellows, newbie to the forum, don't know anyone form here except one member, have some questions that you all might be able to point me in the right direction, I drive a 99 GMC that currently had 4.8 to 6.0 swap, trans rebuilt with TCI cluthces , band and seals, Trans-go shift kit, 3.73 lsd factory carrier, and Nelson Perfomance custom tuned Pcm, run good for stock motor truck, but plan to make it a little faster, main focus is on my 78 malibu project, working on a 496 BBC planning to put down 650-750 hp on motor, and an extra 250 shot of nitrous, maybe 10 in the 1/4 hopefully. I work in tha automotive industry, fix cars and trucks for a living, and bolt on mods when needed, I have a boss that's a gear-head and that I get to do all his mods. Next project is his 5.3 to 6.0 LQ9 conversion, should run fast, see in a couple of weeks, well hope to hear from anyone interested, and hope to be helpful as well.
    Had a 99 GMC ESCB with LQ4 conversion and Nelson Performance tunning, currently workin on my 82 SCB GMC with carbed LQ4 conversion in progress, Also have a 00 SS Camaro that runs mid 11's all day long with bolt ons, Drag race my 79 malibu that has a 496 BBC runnin 10's on motor, shootin for 9's with the 250 shot of nitrous in its near future. Use my 04 2500 chevy to pull my rig around and drive the fam in our 07 NNBS yukon, Die Hard Chevy Fan Till The Death.

    Thanks for the welcome to the forum, I really appreciate the response from everyone that responded, I'm trying to build both my GMC and my malibu at the same time, but it doesnt take much to spend alot of money when starting up new projects, I built, finished and sold my last project, had 93 Z28, 355 forged internals, CC306 cam, all edelbrock, from heads up too, all adjustable suspension and eibach springs, customed tuned due to being speed density and all the bolt ons available, 6-speed built trans,and it only ran 13.0 109 all motor and 12.0 at 122 on 150 shot on e.t streets, I spent to much for so little at the end. If you look on my public profile you'll see one of the pics of my malibu, I would post more of the inside and out but I'm just starting to figure out how to post message and pics, so bear with me..
