He sounds like he's full of shit and a moron. My advice is not to screw with the government as once you're on their radar it is almost impossible to get off even if you do everything above board.

And/Or that the Brocks are actively negative recruiting him

347 hp 355 tq on a stock LM7 with a cam upgrade, headers, and a carb. I would assume sticking with the stock FI and a tune would produce more.

Is everyone synced up now?

https://www.hotrod.com/articles/chevy-706-ls-heads/ Found this. I'm sure LS6 heads are better, but the stock heads are not bad.

Maybe he wants to grad transfer next season, though if so I don't know why.

You should be able to easily get another 15-30 horsepower with a mix of cam/flash/exhaust on the stock heads. You may need to use higher octane, but I doubt it. If you're going to tear it down and don't mind changing to LS6 heads, I'm sure you can get more. I've heard good things about HP Tuners for engine management if you want to change and want more control. Porting the stock heads should do the trick as well. Don't use Dorman knock sensors (or anything) as they have a bad rep. The knock sensors have a rep for going out as they like to trap moisture in the recessed holes they screw into, I've already had mine done too. You can get a wireless Bluetooth or wifi OBS code reader dongle that will connect to your phone. If you use an android you can use Torque for free to read your codes and see engine parameters in real time. I got a generic OBD Bluetooth wireless dongle for $10-15 five years ago off ebay and it is the best money I've ever spent. Borescope cameras that connect to your phone are dirt cheap ($10-20) too. Sams will polish the lenses and put on a protective coating for $35 with a warranty last I checked. They are lazy and you'll need to make an appointment so YMMV. If your housings are too damaged you can buy new housings off Rockauto or Ebay cheap too. Texas Alternator Starter Service in Austin rebuilt it. It cost just barely more than an autozone Gold rebuild and I wanted to keep the original part seeing as it lasted so long. I pretty much agree with your research and don't disagree with anything. I've been meaning to get my oil analyzed and may go ahead and do it next time I get it changed. My biggest problem recently was a persistent cold start lifter knock but pandemic speeding and the higher highway rpms have really quieted it down (I think). I'm pretty sure when she dies it will be because of a collapsed lifter, a wiped cam lobe, or the rings. Still love this truck.

Heads up, the LS' are known for the oil pickup tube o-ring to harden so that it loses pressure at idle. A cheap and easy fix only needing to drop the pan to get to it. YMMV of course. As to OP, I would drive it in the ground including rebuilding the trans as long as you plan on keeping it for a while. If the engine eats a cam, a bearing, or the rings give out, I would probably lean towards a rebuild from a reputable shop that warranties their work and would upgrade the cam and valve springs including a re-flash to get around 325 hp. The cam and springs are the bottle neck as the stock Vortec heads are pretty good. 2000 Silverado Z-71 with 235k on the original engine and trans here. Just rebuilt the original alternator. They don't make them like that any more.

Even if climate change is that big of a weather change, does it affect logistics or politics enough in that area? Will rivers appear or trains reach close enough? The Smithsonian map you linked doesn't show any effect in the Yukon regardless.

Climate change wouldn't affect the climate enough to change the point I was making and wouldn't change the logistic and political situation at all. Only the ability to sell products in the dollar (succession) would change much. I'm not an expert of course.

What's the story?

Really? Canada is limited by logistics and climate. You can only have two crops at most before winter and what is grown is limited by expensive and bottle-necked transport out of the country. It is beautiful country, but absent succession to the US, I would hesitate to think it is another bread basket. In addition the federal government will have to heavily tax the western provinces to pay for the growing social spending of the urban centers. Peter Zeihan has some interesting thoughts on Canada's vulnerability if it interests you.

Maybe whoever it is will use this redshirt so that they can grad transfer next year, thereby not having to sit out a year post transfer?

Azul Tequila next to Target on Ben White. A great Tex-Mex and Interior place with a great Tequila selection, I love the Enchiladas Pipian which has a pumpkin mole sauce. The owners also own Papalote Tacos which is a great authentic Taco place.

He was so good in the Workaholics episode, laughed my ass off.

Such a good and underrated movie. Great score as well.

Are you sure? Milano had the imperial residence for about 116 years after the empire was split in two and before it was moved to Ravenna, but that was after the capitol had been in Rome and before the fall of the western Roman empire. Before it was captured by Rome, it was a Celtic city.

They're not coming and haven't been for a while. Hopefully someone like Leyrer, we need true Tackles.

Hezbollah, not Lebanon. Lebanon needs to get it's shit together for sure, but don't blame the people when they have to choose between speaking up and being car-bombed.

https://setexasrecord.com/stories/544487309-texas-ag-believed-to-be-investigating-federal-and-state-agents-involved-in-2019-austin-raids Anybody know anything about this?

Best guess, the nitrates were destined for rockets Hezbollah was making to bombard Israel with. The Israelis have made very clear that since Hezbollah has taken over the government, and has cowed any internal opposition with murder and bombings, that they would not stand by while a rocket arsenal was built up to attack them. They would make Hezbollah pay regardless of any blowback. Hezbollah has kept their rocket factories producing weapons and has located them, and their storage buildings, in civilian areas to deter their destruction. With a more Iranian friendly government coming in American, and the political Left/Right divide widening in Israel, Hezbollah is learning that their tactics of using the civilian population as shields is no longer a deterrent. I just hope any reckoning finishes before the election as the current trends are favorable for Iran and Hezbollah. Again, best guesses.

I mostly agree and would like to reiterate that the movie was good and well done, just maybe not as good as is thought. The beginning and end were very impactful, but the middle dragged and was filled with tropes and stock characters.
