I agree, Tech info is vital, and I could never get enough of it. I would like to see a comparison as to what the car was like before mods and after mods. I would also like to see what is for budget and would make great power.

I have been reading CHP for 9 years now and love every issue.

Welcome Henry.
Cost vs performance result articles and what you can expect performance wise works for me. And more 69 Camaros... lol

Welcome Henry.
Scott has done an incredible job of compiling some killer projects here at Lateral-g. Be sure to spend some time in the "Members" area.

As you can see, everyone is clamoring for hard data. CHP has always done a good job of comparing engine parts. We'd like to see you extend that service to chassis parts. Many of us are moving way beyond the old days of just installing poly bushings. Nowadays, we are adding aftermarket clips, complete suspension upgrades and even full frame conversions with channeled bodies. The sky is the limit, but we need help choosing from a wide variety of options. PHR is already doing a good job in this arena, but we are still hungry for more.

Good luck with the new gig

Glad to have you aboard. I have been a CHP subscriber for years.

The wish list:
1. (As someone else had mentioned) an article comparing 1st gen front subframes.

2. An article talking about some of the internet sites/forums to join that really are for the gearheads. Like....Lateral-g ! There are some great stories around here.

3. Some stories of car people that really went out of their way to help other car guys/girls.

4. Cover/sponsor one or more "run what you bring" events geared towards the masses. i.e. a Real Street Eliminator competition with more than 5 people in 1 class. Something with multiple classes based on engine/chassis mods. It could be kind of like Year One does where you can actively participate in multiple venues - Drag Racing, Road Course, (Skid Pad, Burnouts, Drifting, Small Autocross course), whatever. Don't feel guilty about charging us a little to participate, I think most people on this site would agree that they would prefer to really drive their cars.

5. Set up these events such that driving mileage (not trailer mileage) to/from the event counts towards points at the end of the year for maybe the top 20. Doesn't matter if you win or lose the event, just as long as you are actually "in" at least one venue with that car. (That way you don't award everything to 20 2002 Camaros) Kind of like frequent flyer mileage for long haulers - "Powerade points". Something the average Joe could participate in with his car, since many of the high $ cars will probably be trailered and not want to accumulate the extra mileage.

Just my < 2 cents.

Welcome aboard Henry. I've been reading CHP for years, I think it's a great mag.

My recommendations: I think you need to feature more '69 Camaro's with LS1 power.... Just kidding.

I actually really like Scott's idea of following a racer and his crew and telling the story, that's a great idea.

I also really love the build up's over a few issues. All of Mark Steilows projects will never be forgotten. Any great build ups like his, utilizing the newest technology would be awesome. And it doesn't really matter to me what type of car. As long as it's a Chevy.
