maichor Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 There are TONS of memebers from Texas. I used to live in Dallas and will return to the Rockwall/Rowlett area outside of Dallas in a few months. I have only met a handfull of members, but here is a short list of Dallas or nearby guys. Zfan Zman377 Lone Star 1 Phantom Corzette RPMS If my memory is correct, here is a rundown on some of them. Zfan announces at the track at Ennis sometimes. Really cool guy, his only hangup is that he keeps blowing up motors! (383 with juice). Zman377- I met him and his wife last year at Ennis. This guy has some toys! -Two Grand Nationals- -An in your face Toyota 4X4- -Wife drives a WRX- -and his 377 Z is killer- Also with nitrous, I think. http://www.1badz.com Lone Star 1 has a SC LS1. I believe he was the first to have his LS1 up and driving. I rode in it when it was NA and it is very quick! A real pioneer with great fabrication skills. He is always doing soccer stuff with the family. Phantom has an LS1 daily driver that was the prototype for the John's Cars Kit and it is a beautiful install. Super cool guy. We went to his house just to get a ride in the car. He gave me and my wife a ride. When he was researching the swap, he came to look at how I mounted the LS1 and brought by a present for my newborn son. He is a definitely a class act. Corzette is all about the 1/4 mile and he is dropping in a 383 soon. He loves AFR heads and made me add AFR heads to my future wish list for my LS1. I met RPMS at the same lunch meeting when Corzette picke up some parts from me. RPMS also has a SBC, likes motorcycles and has a website. I can't recall it right now. There are certainly many others but those are the few I've met briefly. My impression of each has been that they are stand up guys and it appears that this whole Hybridz community lures that type of people.

Sparky Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 checkin in from down south in San Antonio. Not to many hybridz members down this way, but hopefully the national convention in dallas will bring some more out of the wood work.

zeeboost Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Checkin' in from Victoria -- hopefully this weekend, if I can get the hybrid going today or tomorrow, I'll be taking a trip from here to Nacogdoches and back as a little "motor break-in" drive.

HarrisonTX Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 Just a tip, Every motor i broke in, and book, ive read it says NO sustained speeds For a small block your not supposed to go over 55, and you not supposed to keep it at the same speed for a long time. i know theres plenty of ppl here, that have 10 different ways to break it in. The worst is "BREAK IT IN LIKE YOUR GONNA DRIVE IT" i think thats just ignorant. Just a tip man, im sure you know your stuff tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Sorry to hijack the thread, but... About the engine break-in, I'm trying to follow Grumpy's procedure, although I'm a little confused about one part. I'm going to vary RPMs between 1500-4000 for 15 min., drive it around for approx. 60 min., then change oil and filter. Here's where I'm not sure about: In this thread, Grumpyvette first says to not do any steady, continuous driving until after 500 miles. But, after that, he says that by using mineral oil, the rings will be seated by 100 miles and you can drive the dog out of it, so I'm not quite sure about that. Thank you, however, for chiming in -- I guess it's a sign that I should just take my truck instead and give the hybrid some city driving before I go on a road trip.

HarrisonTX Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 Thats a good idea to take the truck. I mean i know you may be a master engine builder, but something could still go wronge. Better safe than sorry. And, just another tip, when i do my break in's, some ppl say its a waste, But, once i get it started, i run it for a few minutes, then change oil and filter. The change again, after an hour, or however long you think. All that cam grease and stuff, im always in a hurry to get that outa the system.
