Default Trying to gauge the LSx scene around me in Pensacola?

Well just recently moved back to Florida from out west. I dont see any lsx clubs or groups locally. Would like to get a local meet going as well as some buddies to cruise with. I live in Gulf Breeze but Pensacola will work to.

Post up so I can keep your username and maybe get a meet going..

There are quite a few lsx vehicles in the pensacola area, although it does seem to be a lot less guys than i remember a few years ago. Either way i live in pensacola and usually go out to the burger king on 9 mile road on saturday nights. Name is Keith i drive a white 2001 camaro z28 with some black torq thrust m's.

Nice to meet you to BJ. When I was out west I was part of lvfbody and it was a nice group always had help with problem, tools, extra hands etc. Thats what I would like to do in Pcola get a good group with nice rides and enjoy. Nice to have you on board. If I can get 10 or so people I might try to swing something more organized maybe even get a website going for pcola. Try to grow the scene alittle. Would help my engine builder too.

I am in Pensacola as well. I go to burgerking every so often. Someone above summed up gheyfront. There are some other local hang outs, but they are mainly for showing who's car is faster or who's mommy and daddies have given thier kids more money. If you get my point.

If you need help or anything I work a GM dealer and I am certifed in a few areas. If you need my help just PM and I can see what I can do for you.

Nice meeting you both. TC78 setup is in the works got the turbo about 1 today.. Im so excited to see what the difference from my old stock engine and t67 setup was like. Motor is at GCRE just waiting on parts which is scheduled for 31st. Then throw the motor in and haul the car to Mike Norris for a tune..Looking for 700+ on pump.

Yeh I know but he is a great tuner on anything lsx based. He has tuned many of 1000+ horsepower cars. I feel a little better about my $7000+ investment making sure the tune is dead on.. Plus we haul the car with my buddies 2500hd with a trailer with trailer brakes. Will be an easy 6 hours Ill do it all in one day.. Then Ill bring her out.
