:( That is some of the stupidest shit i have ever read

How about " Don't read this magazine".

That's why we'll always need LS1tech.com So...in that case, LONG LIVE MAGAZINES! :jest:

Cutouts hurt low end power...ok, who freakin' cares? I don't race at 2000 RPM (which is about the only place it might hurt you a little bit.)

dont delete torque management
That's a good one. If you are that worried about saving your trans, don't do any mods and don't race it. In fact, just park it in your garage, sit in it and make fun engine noises with your mouth. Your tranny will last a LONG time.

:jest: glad im not the only one who thought that article was retarded.

when was the last time a magazine article was helpful to the LS community? Even GMHTP is behind the itmes!

some people ET slower with a cutout.

i know sean- 01Z always raced with his closed.

I'm just surprised SC knew what a cutout was ;)

LOL...one of their experts was Bill Strope of Strope's Speed Shop...we all know the reputation they have with LS1s! ;) :jest:

Now I have to get this article, what issue is it in?

If its the same one I am thinking of they also suggest drag radials on stock rear ends

new issue with a red elcamino on the front

wow I'm getting tired of all these fix it shows just like HP TV

dont do a cutout it may lose low end touque

Yeah, I can't stand that I only dyno'd 340 ft.lbs. with a cutout and lid. Damn the loss of torque...damn it! :)

Hmmmm.....

Well apperently when it comes to LS1 related matters, Super Chevy is nothing more than expensive, shiny toliet paper.

old school info..... lol

You'd think some of these writers would read LS1Tech.com for a little while before showcasing their LS1 ignorance to a national audience. Oh well, we're here for you when you need us Super Chevy! ;)

That's the most frustrating part about the national magazines. They have this arrogant attitude of "blah, it's all BS on the web, why bother?" It took most of them years to even acknowledge the Gen III as a viable performance engine worthy of their "hallowed pages". I mean how many Nova drum-to-disc conversion articles can you write? What they don't realize is that by the time their current reader base is gone, they will have no one reading their magazines because the younger or at least more savvy performance enthusiast requires "on-time" and current information now, not outdated like a 3 day old newspaper.

I just buy magazines for the pictures....

super chevy use to be a great magazine in the late 80s now its all downhill.Like black ta said i like stuff that is (on time).Without ls1tech and speedinc. i probably wouldnt have modded my car at all.

This sounds like the same crap that was in GMHTP:huh:

yeah, i dont bother with them anymore, everytime i get one , its always about old old cars...

and they said how to make your stock 10 bolt bullet proof... the cars they put them in were running like 16-17's.. hell yeah theyll be bullet proof with that kind of times...

Yea, when I want tips on how to install trim molding on a malibu Ill pick up a copy! :jest:

I read it, or it may have been a different issue. Is it like an on-going thing? I thought the one I read had a black '67 Firebird on the cover.

Bunch of BS if you ask me. I've learned quite a bit since I've been on here. I can't say I've learned a damn thing reading all my HPP, and GMHTP mags.

That and the fact that they keep trying to screw me on issues. I've called up and demanded issues so many times...


Who needs em'!

I'm a bit of a newbie, and I sure feel relieved that I'm not the only one that thinks some of their do's and don't weren't quite right

Problem with a lot of magazines is that they are satisfied with skewed and mediocre results. I am not saying they pander to manufacturers but in many cases the author of so the story is getting the parts for free or hookin' up a buddy.

I found a lot of the TGOW articles in GMHTP frustrating because they should have went 12.7's and not 13.1's with that stuff.

Hot Rod has impressed me the most with respect to technical content. There is a bit of Mustang bias (I think some of them have stangs) but they still know what is fast and what is lame.

i just dont like mags since there behind the times on alot of shit. least with sites like this is up to the minute news and results and discussions.

"breaking news, your 01-02 car may have an ls6 block"

:rolleyes:

"breaking news, your 01-02 car may have an ls6 block"

:rolleyes:LOL
I think of that sound they use in old movies when they had a breaking story. I can't make it on the computer so you will have to use your imagination.

The LS1 communtiy needs a magazine like Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. That is a damn good mag for tech, vendors, and entertainment in general. It took that magazine well over 10 years to get to it's current stage. Imagine what an LS1, LS6, LS2 mag could do in 10 years in the right hands!
