rwhp was at 593 with tons left on the table. AF was literally off the chart rich from 4000 rpm's on. Might have picked up another 35+ horse if we brought it up, but i didn't want to put any more stress on this bottom end. Jets were lowered back down for normal track use. Unless I run into someone that brings my best out

Where is Bensalem PA? Don't remember hearing that name before.

Well, I eat my words - my first day down here with the car and I ran into a red WS6 and an LT1 Trans-Am yesterday. We talked for a few and then I was on my way - hope to see more as the weather gets nicer... my car is going to see snow tonight for the first time ever

Well I figured I should help out and make our voice louder. I'm in Nazareth (Allentown area), and i've got two f-bodies that DEFINETLY run (see sig).

I know of three other f-body owners in my immediate area...a 2001 SLP SS (good friend of mine), a 2000 Firehawk that I came across in the NCC parking lot one day...owner said he was registered here. Haven't seen him online though. And finally a 1999 TA whose owner I met last week at WAWA while hot-wiring my WS6 (long story). I don't see too many f-bodies around here...but they do exist.

Oh come on!! You can't decide if NJ is worse than PA?! Drive in NJ for ONE MINUTE and tell me PA is worse. You can't honestly say it. NO WAY.

Jersey has Atco though. Dirty Jersey is nice to have close and not have to live there.

Don't compare scumbag North Jersey to us normal people from South Jersey. Traffic is getting bad in some parts but it's tolerable.

Medford lakes is nice but where have you been? South Jersey is cheap compared to around here.

Born in P A, visit once a year for family/food, but currently live in Texas. I lived close to Wilkes-Barre (Kingston) and in the boonies at Wapwallopen.

Depends where in SNJ you're talking. Taxes in Camden and Burlington counties are INSANE. Property/house values where my family lives have gone through the roof and is showing no signes of slowing down. You get near redneck areas like Vineland and Millville you can pick up stuff cheap and not get killed to bad on taxes.

This area sucks too. I know I'm only 25 but I'd LOVE to jump into the market right now and get a house...but the prices are way too f'in high for shitbox houses...
