Yeah my Dad has owned the truck since he bought it when I was like 3 or 4 (I'm 19).

He gave it to me when I was 16. It now has 315k and still runs strong. Proper maintenance will do an engine good

I bought it in 97 with 32K on it, changed the oil every 2K except for maybe 3-4 times when it went close to 3K.

Just more proof that proper maintenance does the car good.

Haha yeah I'm not sure where it was I saw.. some dude built a Camaro using the LS1 and posted his progess, parts, costs, etc, and he was able to get a 350 shot of nitrous out. Of course he really built his engine. Still streetable though, which is pretty crazy.
