New here from NE Indiana
Well I have been floating around on this site for about 9 months now just reading and following whats going on. I have bought a few things here and there so now I figure it is about time to introduce myself.
My name is Eddie and I purchased my Camaro back in March 2013. I picked up a used 2011 Black 1SS 6spd with 39000 miles on it. I got a hell of a deal on it for $23500 private party. It has been several years since I have played with an LSx engine so I was quite excited to finally aquire one of my own and start playing with it. I do have a good length of history working on and heavily modifying LSx based cars. From the early 2000s till 2007 I worked for a local performance company called DynoTech Engineering. I left there in 2007 by choice to take a fulltime position at the Air National Guard unit in Fort Wayne Indiana where I currently still work today. Don't get me wrong I loved working on Corvettes and Camaros but the 3x the pay at the base and a long term career won me over. I enjoyed the time I worked at DTE doing everything from simple head cam installs to twin turbos to all types of superchargers. I have worked on everything from old school hotrods to C5 & C6 Corvettes and Fbodies. I did a bit of side CAD design work for them as well developing new parts here and there. It was a fun time and I learned a lot. So I am again excited to be working on these engines again. With all that being said I am a huge advocate of paying it forward. I have all my tools still from when I worked there and love getting to turn a wrench. I work on aircraft all day so gettting to turn a wrench on a car is just as fun. If anyone in the area is wanting to modify their car, install a part or troubleshoot I would be more than willing to help. I have HP Tuners Pro and a good chunk of experience using it. That is a lot to say in an introduction post so if anyone wants me to elaborate on anything feel free to ask. So with all that said again I want to say hi and I look forward to talking more with everyone and anyone. |

Eddie, CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.
![]() oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!!
