Official Polk County thread!
yeah I'll check with them also. I remembered you reccomending them to me but couldn't remember the name of the place. just hoping to find a place as close as possible so I don't have to drive the car as far on open headers. not that I would mind, but the 5.0 probably wouldn't approve too much

well about 20 minutes after I talked to you last night I burnt my trans getting onto the parkway. wasn't even racing or doing anything crazy. apparently my trans cooler line started leaking and it ate the 3-4 clutch pack. had to drive home in second gear. so now I get to rebuild it. yay

Verdad Gallardo well I was able to find a rebuild kit at a very reasonable price, and to my surprise was sitting on my door step 3 days after ordering it from california. so tonight I'm going to start ripping it all out to begin the lovely rebuild process. hopefully have it back in over the weekend. or I may hold out on the re-install becasue a member here in orlando has a set of lt/s and an offroad y for what i was looking at buying just the headers for. and well this would be the time to do it since the y has to come off anyways and the headers will be much easier to reach with that big old tranny out of the way
Got my car tuned! Made 594 on 11lbs then regated the wastegate to around 9ish to make 550. On 16 deg timing and a airfuel of 8.8 e85. Tunes real safe, but man honestly its a beast on the road! Gonna hit up lakeland dragstrip if the weather holds out to actually lay in the throttle some.
hey if any of you locals want a ls1 block i have one for sale. it has a bad rod bearing so the crank needs fixed. its also been tore down and cleaned at the machine shop. So its ready to build. im looking for 250. i also have alot of other parts if yall need anything.

I am moving to Polk County next month as the wife's job is moving to Celebration. Looks like we will be living in Davenport. Would like to get to know a few locals.
First thing on my agenda is to gain employment. Any ideas?

what kind of experience do you have? if you were going to be closer and had somewhat related experience, I actually need a technician at my Servpro branch
of course you did. damn I missed it. my car is down for a tranny rebuild or I would have been out. I was at the mercy of the g/f last night so I had to go where she wanted. I will be back out there next sat
