stage20's LSX thirdgen is in this months Chevy High Performance

You guys might want to get this months Chevy High Performance Magazine, it has a feature on stage20's car. A lot of great pics and notes about the car. Definately one of the cleanest and best executed LS swaps anyone has done...and it doesn't hurt that its brutally fast too.

Congrats on the magazine feature TJ! Your car is what inspired me to do the LS swap.

Yeah I work with him on Eglin AFB, He's a good guy. He says you're the reason that he's gone down the LS path for his Nova now, he's got a 6.0 LQ4 going in right now as we speak!

Re: stage20's LSX thirdgen is in this months Chevy High Performance

the coolest thing about the whole experience is, in this world, i am a NOBODY. no high end shop built my car, noone put in a word, i dont know a sole. nothing on my car is powdercoated or polished. its all spray paint and zip ties.
i sent a couple pics of my engine in to them for "royal purples slickest engine award" and it was going to be a half page pic if i won.
well the pic i sent wasnt large enough and by the time i got a big one the contest was over.
henry said if i could get him a nice size file pic of my car he would put me in the RIDES section.
sent in my pics and he said if i could get to bowling green for the LS fest, he would do a full feature on my car. pretty cool stuff.

dream come true. it may not seem like much to some folks, but its nice to know that even a nobody in this world can attract someones attention.
