eing editor of a monthly automotive publication, my work consists of a constant process of trying to put together an editorial package that resonates with as many readers as possible, so it’s important to check the most number of boxes when deciding what material to include in the magazine. For example, doing an article on the basic inner workings of an engine will generate interest with the newer and less-versed readership but probably won’t pique the meter of those well-versed engine gurus, whereas doing a technical piece on using thinner piston rings for horsepower gains just might. Just like a basic bolt-on suspension article will be useful to someone just getting into handling aspects of their project, it might seem somewhat elementary to someone wanting to learn about the relationship between rebound and compression on their double-adjustable coilover shocks. And that same person may also want to know how adding 100-pound per inch higher spring rate to the front suspension will affect the car’s turn-in characteristics.

Being in the editor’s seat of this here magazine requires the inclusion of a wide variety of articles that readers find interesting and, most importantly, can actually learn something from. So, there’s a good chance you’ll see technical articles in these pages in which you are totally familiar with, and I really hope the subjects we cover can be applied to your current or future project.

On the car feature side, I appreciate the amazing work that the extremely talented builders are able to put into a super high-end build, while at the same time, I love what some guys are capable of achieving in their home garage with a small budget, a few friends, and a lot of determination. So, covering these two extreme car building styles enables us to provide a balanced editorial package that appeals to as many Chevy enthusiasts as possible.

So, with this, the third issue of All Chevy Performance magazine, we are getting into a groove—editorially and functionally. I’ve always felt that a car magazine geared toward performance should inspire, entertain, and teach. So, with those parameters in mind, email me at nlicata@inthegaragemedia.com to let me know the build style of cars you want to see and the technical articles you would like to read in All Chevy Performance magazine.

You in?

There are certain cars we come across that inspire the build style we’d like to take our project. For me it was Kyle Tucker’s 1970 Camaro. Seeing that car in a magazine confirmed my interest in wanting to build a Pro Touring second-gen Camaro. (Photo by Robert McGaffin)
