    Allen,

    I think some things could be done to help wake it back up. This place was rolling along fairly well several years ago, but it seems like to me it turn into a nut swinging contest, I've heard from several members that it took the real "tech" out of it.

    I think a shift towards conversions might be a good place to go.

    However, you're already talking bs and the truck is on jack stands, lol.
    Get it on the track, run some respectable times, then say "to all the haterz" because that vid is weak lol.
    You got a long ways to go to compete with the turbos!

    a conversion site would be cool and would boost the site more hopefully


    new facelift and layout design and youll have traffic again
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    all good points and suggestions guys.
    my first step was to control spam, what a pita, it's done! i haven't seen any, if you have lmk.

    i was gonna post in the veteran section, but like ya'll said, we have ls conversion lukurs (low count posts) and their opinion is appreciated too

    ok, working on the layout and thread structure.

    any other suggestions feel free to reply.

    This site has been helpful to me for doing a conversion, especially because it's platform specific. For a lot of stuff I go to ls1tech because there's a lot more support for carbs, there's more traffic, and the answers are usually there if you do some digging. To me the carburetor part of my swap is where this site really fell short. There are people running carbs, they just aren't here, haha.

    Good deal man.

    I think it would be a good idea to also build on the truck racing scene in Texas. You started it.....now capitalize on it. I have tons of ideas to make that work if it is something you'd like to do.

    I would definitely say Conversions too, most people don't really hang around to chat these days. Unless it's about a new soap opera or drama thread lol

    It should be noted that I think the most active area on ls1tech is the conversion section.

    I think that will be a good change of direction also. I remember this site used to have SEVERAL new threads a day. By no means trying to be rude when I say this but I think one of the things is (and it's the same with the Tbssowners site) these trucks are getting cheaper now and the ppl buying them don't have the money to upgrade and ppl that could afford to do some serious mods to them bought them previously and have already done it. Or like my self have already built a few trucks and know them in and out so the tech questions aren't getting asked.
